Coverage contextAdewole David Ajao and the Negotiated Internet Behind AFRINIC, Adewole David Ajao's public record is not just a board-election note. It is a map of negotiated infrastructure: university bandwidth, local peering, cache economics, data-centre preparation, fibre and cable landing sites, community governance, and now an AFRINIC seat whose powers remain collective rather than personal.Medium confidence

Coverage contextAdewole David Ajao's AFRINIC board role puts interconnection policy inside the room, Adewole David Ajao is a Nigerian Internet-infrastructure and governance operator whose public record now has a concrete AFRINIC board surface. AFRINIC's 2025 election portal lists him as the elected candidate for Board Seat 8, while the candidate profile places him at Google as a strategic negotiator working on fibre, colocation, cable landing stations, peering and cache acquisition across Africa. The useful read is not biography; it is how a network-acquisition and operator-community profile enters a registry board that is central to African Internet-number governance.Medium confidence
