Lack of Technical Skills – with the growth in the market, Nigeria needs to provide more technical skills for this cloud computing industry – the people – the people must also be able to grow in-depth in terms of skills set for application in the cloud computing industry.
Lack of a supportive legal framework has also been highlighted as one challenge – a few legislation are required in terms of how actively the government and her agencies who happen to be potentially biggest client can consume and adopt cloud computing services among other supportive roles.
Shortage of ICT infrastructure – the number of data centres in Nigeria need to improve. Shortage of infrastructure has led to the high cost of infrastructure-related services like collocations.
Insecurity – insecurity cases and the public image on security and stability in Nigeria have scared away a few investors who would foster the growth of cloud computing through cloud computing investments.
