Lenovo Group Ltd, the world's largest maker of personal computers, plans to expand its smartphone business in three West African countries as it builds on a surge in demand in Nigeria. The company will start selling models of data-enabled phones, including the Vibe X and S930, in Nigeria starting in the first week of March, Graham Braum,
Beijing-based Lenovo's general manager for Africa, said in a Feb 4 interview in Lagos, Nigeria's commercial capital. The company may start sales in Ghana and Ivory Coast later this year, he said. "Smartphones are fast becoming a primary platform for work, entertainment and social networking" in Nigeria as in the rest of the world, Braum said.
