The SCMA Story
Smart City Mall Africa, widely known as SCMA, is more than just an innovative name—it represents a visionary movement that is transforming the future of smart living in Africa.
Our Beginning
SCMA was born in June 2022 in Abuja, Nigeria—a time when the Building Automation and Home Improvements industry was burdened with delays, inconsistent execution, erratic price regulation, delayed payments, poor accountability, and substandard product quality. Observing these challenges, our founder, Joshua Oshowo, knew there had to be a better way.
Joshua’s journey wasn’t new to the world of technology and innovation. With a background that spans web development, procurement, and the supply and repair of computer and health equipment—and deep hands-on experience in embedded systems, networking, and industrial automation—he recognized the immense potential for change. Armed with insights from various successful business ventures, Joshua resolved to disrupt an industry that had long been reserved for the privileged few. He envisioned an automated, decentralized system that would democratize access to smart technology and create a new paradigm in urban living.
From Vision to Reality
What began as a spark of inspiration among a small team of five brilliant minds quickly grew into a powerful movement. In just three years, SCMA has evolved into Africa’s first comprehensive online mall dedicated exclusively to smart city technologies. Our journey saw us expand rapidly: we onboarded 30 skilled installers, partnered with numerous vendors, and launched a suite of innovative initiatives, including:
