Nigerians are building affordable alternatives to AWS and Google Cloud

• Cloud costs for Nigerian companies have shot up after the naira depreciated sharply because most U.S. cloud companies charge in dollars.
• Several local cloud startups have sprung up in the last two years. They offer the option to pay in naira, along with data sovereignty and lower latency.
• Amazon Web Services started accepting payments in naira in January this year, which experts believe is a reaction to local competition.
