supported various initiatives focusing on the growth and development of young Nigerians.
The brand's presence can be felt across campuses nationwide, with
collaborations established with prominent institutions like the University of
Ibadan. She elaborated on this "We’ve done a lot of youth empowerment and
as our slides show we are very youth centric we are very youth focused.I don’t

infinix" "As at last year we still sent a skater to participate in
the world skating championship competition in Egypt. These are some of the
things we do that empower our core target which are Nigerian Youths".

authorized retail outlets and e-commerce partners. In cases where issues arise
with phones bought from dealers, Infinix provides support through its dedicated
after-sales service, Carlcare. On this she cautioned thus " We always
advice our customers and consumers to purchase their devices from authorized
retail outfits.If you purchase your devices from infinix authorized retail
outlets and dealers,that we partner with to give you the very best of infinix

if for any reason, you have a problem when you purchase your device from any of
these authorized outlets,we have Calcare where you can get your repairs done
depending on the kind of repairs"."So as long as you buy from an
authorized retail outlet there really isn’t an issue and that is the measure we
have put in place and that’s what we promote in all our communications,that
