The Usiju Event Center in Jos buzzed with excitement as Zang Global Innovations officially unveiled its range of locally manufactured technology products, marking a major stride in Nigeria’s innovation journey.
The event, themed “Proudly Made in Nigeria – Powering Innovation, Empowering Lives,” brought together government officials, entrepreneurs, investors, and development partners who gathered to celebrate the rise of homegrown technology and industrial creativity.
In his keynote address, Mr. Zang Luka, Chief Executive Officer of Zang Global, shared the inspiration behind the company’s mission, rooted in a desire to see more Nigerian-made products in the global market.
“Our vision was born from one simple question — where are the made-in-Nigeria products? That question ignited our drive to produce indigenous, eco-friendly innovations right here in Nigeria,” he said.
Luka reaffirmed the company’s goal of creating 15,000 jobs across Africa by 2029 through youth training, innovation, and employment. He emphasized that Zang Global’s approach is focused on solving African problems with African solutions, promoting sustainability through e-waste recycling and green technology.
“The launch of our locally made USB cables and chargers is more than a product unveiling — it’s a movement of purpose, people, and progress,” he added.
Delivering a goodwill message, Mr. Samuel Gwott, General Manager of Plateau Express Service Limited, described Zang Global as a beacon of hope for Plateau State and Nigeria at large.
“This initiative is a refreshing contrast to the negative narratives often associated with our region. It’s a story of creativity, resilience, and entrepreneurship,” he said, pledging to purchase Zang Global products for his company and staff.
In his keynote remarks, Mr. Ezekiel Gomos, a business expert, commended Zang Global’s discipline and structure, which he said were critical ingredients for attracting investment.
“Great ideas require teamwork, integrity, and accountability. Even small investments can make a big difference when managed wisely,” he noted, urging young innovators to remain focused and committed.
Also speaking, Dr. Cletus Bako Shurkuk, Plateau State Commissioner for Science and Technology, hailed Zang Global as a model for youth-driven innovation. He pledged government support to enhance the state’s innovation ecosystem and announced forthcoming events — including the World Science Day for Development and Peace (November 10, 2025) and the Festival of Science, Technology, and Innovation — to further promote local inventors and creators.
A representative of the Amahoro Coalition, one of Zang Global’s development partners, highlighted Luka’s journey of resilience, noting his transformation from displacement to entrepreneurship through the Amahoro Fellowship Program, which provided mentorship, leadership training, and funding.
“Zang embodies the spirit of turning pain into purpose and adversity into opportunity,” the representative said.
The event culminated in the unveiling of Zang Global’s first line of products — including power banks (10,000mAh and 20,000mAh), USB cables, power adapters, and rechargeable lanterns — all proudly designed and manufactured in Jos, Nigeria.
With this groundbreaking launch, Zang Global Innovations has cemented its place as a leading voice in African-made technology — championing youth empowerment, environmental sustainability, and a self-reliant, innovation-driven future for the continent.
