LG Electronics Nigeria has again maintained its position as a pioneer in technological innovation with the successful hosting of the LG Smart TV AI Press Conference, themed “From Smart Devices to Smart Living – The Age of Automation: How AI is Redefining the Living Experience.”
LG exhibited the company’s newest AI Smart TV range, including OLED, QNED, NanoCell, and UHD models powered by LG ThinQ AI, a plan that learns user preferences, responds to voice commands, and connects flawlessly with other LG smart devices. The company says this reflects its commitment to delivering a fully connected home experience built around intelligence, comfort, and satisfaction.
The partnership, announced at the LG Smart TV AI Press Conference held on Wednesday at Ecobank’s Victoria Island headquarters, combines LG’s cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence (AI) home technologies with Ecobank’s Easy Monthly Instalment (EMI), a flexible financing scheme similar to BNPL which allows customers to pay little by little over time. The event brought together technology experts, media representatives and lifestyle enthusiasts to survey how Artificial Intelligence is reshaping the way Nigerians live and connect in an era of automation.
According to both companies, the initiative aims to bridge affordability gaps and empower more Nigerians to own premium smart devices without upfront financial strain, a move that aligns with the BNPL trend transforming Nigeria’s digital financial ecosystem.
Choongbae Seok, general manager, media entertainment solutions, TV Division, LG Electronics, said the company’s vision is to integrate innovation into everyday life through AI-driven solutions.
“Our AI-powered products are designed to simplify living, enhance comfort and create a connected lifestyle for our customers. With AI at the heart of our innovation, LG continues to redefine what it means to live smart,” he said.
The company’s partnership with Ecobank, he added, is meant to ensure that innovation remains inclusive by leveraging flexible financing to reach a wider audience.
Adeola Ogunyemi, head, distribution channels/sales, Ecobank Nigeria, described the collaboration as a major step in democratising access to technology while deepening financial inclusion through convenient credit solutions.
“We believe technology should be accessible to everyone, not just a select few. Our partnership with LG is a powerful step toward democratising smart living by offering flexible payment plans that put premium AI-powered devices within reach of more Nigerians,” Ogunyemi said.
She added that the partnership is “about empowering Nigerians to experience the future of living today,” noting that smart homes are fast becoming the new norm.
As Nigeria’s BNPL sector continues its rapid ascent, driven by fintech innovation, automation, and inclusive credit access, collaborations like LG and Ecobank’s are positioned to redefine how Nigerians access technology.
