Digital Twins in Nigeria: The Future Has a Mirror

Have you ever wished Nigeria’s problems came with a “reset” button? Imagine if Lagos traffic could be simulated, tweaked, and solved before commuters spend four hours on Third Mainland Bridge. Or if our fragile energy grid could be modeled virtually to prevent blackouts before they happen. That’s the promise of Digital Twins, virtual replicas of real-world systems that allow us to test, predict, and optimize without the costly risks of trial and error. What Exactly Are Digital Twins? Think of them as mirror-worlds. From factories to hospitals, a digital twin lets us run “what-if” scenarios in real time: What if we reroute energy during peak hours? What if we reconfigure production lines? What if we test a new telecom network design virtually before rolling it out? Globally, digital twins are transforming industries. In manufacturing, they cut downtime. Why This Matters for Nigeria This isn’t a luxury, it’s survival for a country with our scale and ambition. Telecoms: Nigeria’s network...
