Balogun of the community, Mr Lamidi Adeshina said he is very happy because the villagers can now enjoy network and can browse from the comfort of their homes and their sons can now stay longer in the community without rushing to leave because of lack of network access.
He said, “I am very happy because the villagers enjoy network and browsing and our sons can leave the town and come here and they would not rush to leave because they now have internet connection now so they stay longer and we are very happy about that.”
Also speaking, Otun Iyalode of the community, Oluyemi Adegoke said, “We are so happy, we have been communicating very well with our children, they have been calling us and we have been doing the same thing too.”
Elizabeth Emmanuel, a youth in the community said she is happy with the development as she can make calls and chat on TikTok, Instagram and WhatsApp from the comfort of her bed.
According to the company, Huawei will do live streaming on social media platforms on 13th December to demonstrate how the site has changed the lives of villagers.
The company says, ‘‘The Rural Telephony case in Nigeria is one example of Huawei’s efforts of promoting rural connection globally. In Africa alone, Huawei has laid more than 250,000 kilometers of optical fibers, enabling 30 million households to access high-speed broadband. User experience has seen constant improvement. The average speed of home broadband already exceeds 30 Mbit/s, bringing smarter, faster, and smoother home network experience.
‘‘Another latest move is that, on 23rd November, Huawei signed a global commitment to join the International Telecommunication Union’s ‘Partner2Connect’ digital alliance, which will bring connectivity to about 120 million people in remote areas in more than 80 countries by 2025.’’
Chairman of Huawei, Dr Liang Hua said, “Connectivity will be more than just a tool for convenient communications. Together with digital technologies like cloud and AI, connectivity will help bring everyone into the digital world, and provide them with access to more information and skills, better services, and wider business opportunities. This will, in turn, drive further social and economic development.”
