Nigeria’s listed technology companies recorded a 75 percent surge in combined capital expenditure to N3.23 billion in the first half of 2026. Data from six firms, including Chams, CWG, and eTranzact, shows total cash and cash equivalents nearly doubled to N37.8 billion. Despite the rise in expenditure, the sector’s aggregate CAPEX-to-cash ratio declined as cash accumulation outpaced investment. Analysts note that firms are now prioritizing internal cash generation over expensive external financing, with varying strategies ranging from Chams’ infrastructure-heavy expansion to the asset-light models adopted by companies like CWG and eTranzact.
