The executive secretary, National Universities Commission (NUC), Prof. Abubakar Rasheed, who delivered the keynote speech titled: “Reinventing Education To Meet Expectations,” commended Huawei for creating the platform for experts to come together and address challenges facing the academic community.
Rasheed who was represented by the deputy executive secretary, Administration, NUC, Dr Chris Maiyaki, said universities must continually strive for the ultimate objective of ensuring quality teaching, and research to be able to bring about the much-needed community impact.
