FBNQuest, the investment banking and asset management subsidiary of FBN Holdings Plc., has disclosed the divestment of its stake in MainOne Cable Company (“MainOne”) to Equinix Inc.

A statement by the company announcing the development, said in 2009, FBNQuest Funds Limited (“FBNQuest Funds”) invested $15m of primary capital in MainOne to fund the company’s vision to build a 7,000km subsea submarine communications cable running from Portugal down the coast of West Africa.

The statement added that over the years, MainOne had evolved from a submarine fibre optic cable operator to a leading West African data centre and connectivity provider with a presence in Nigeria, Ghana, and Cote d’Ivoire. MainOne provides reliable services to major telecom operators, ISPs, government agencies, small to large enterprises, and educational institutions.
