Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. has demonstrated its commitment to driving the development of Nigeria through youth empowerment initiatives.
Huawei says its vision in Nigeria is to create an ICT ecosystem which will form the foundation in the digitalization plan for the nearest future.
This is important given that advancement in digital technology knowledge will facilitate the national economic diversification plan and also provide job opportunities for Nigerian youths.
Huawei has been on Nigerian soil for over 21 years. The company has donated state-of-the-art ICT equipment to over 20 schools and ICT educational institutions across Nigeria through its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
One of which was the remodelling of the ICT lab donated to the Government Secondary School, Ilorin, Kwara State.
Speaking to the press, the National President of the Old Boys Association stated that it gladdens the heart of the students and teachers in the great institution to know that the students can digitally communicate, create, disseminate, store and manage information while teaching and learning via ICT.
The lives of the students of Ogedengbe High School of Sciences were affected by the kind gesture of Huawei, one of the oldest serving schools in Ilesa, Osun State.
The company provided new science laboratories, internally generated electricity, water supply, tables and chairs.
The School Principal, Mrs. Felicia Orimoogunje, lauded Huawei for the supportive development of Nigeria through technology innovation, knowledge transfer, talent training and CSR activities.
She stated that Huawei has improved the knowledge and exposure of over seven hundred senior secondary school students and placed them on a pedestal for success in the nearest future.
Recently, Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd, in partnership with the Special Intervention Program on Communal and Societal Development (SIPCOD) upgraded and equipped an E-learning Centre to with 58 state-of-the-art computers among others in Sardauna Memorial College, Kaduna State. This gesture was to enable the student to compete favourably in the global world.
The principal of the school, Mr. Jamare Tukar stated that since the upgrade of the E-Learning centre, the teachers have had a splendid time imparting knowledge to 1,022 students.
The students can now compete favourably with their counterparts in the world. He further explained that the E-Learning Centre has gone a long way in bridging the Information, Communication and Technology (ICT) gap in the school.
Huawei has stayed committed to the lives of Nigerians across different social classes. Through Huawei’s CSR programmes ample opportunities have been extended to students across Nigeria. Students now have a chance of being successful in ICT. Huawei will continue to invest in this collaboration with various schools. The beneficiaries of this initiative are expected to increase greatly and continuously as various e-learning centres would be built across Nigeria.
