Chen emphasised Huawei’s significant role in supporting the present administration’s Three Million Technical Talent (3MTT) programme, primarily through its ICT Academy, and reaffirmed the company’s commitment to driving Nigeria’s digital transformation in tandem with President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, aimed at fostering economic growth and development.

While stressing that the Huawei ICT Academy provides students with an international platform for healthy competition and exchange of ideas, he said Women in Tech Training in partnership with the First Lady of Nigeria, Oluremi Tinubu, empowers women entrepreneurs with tech and digital skills for economic growth and development.

“We celebrate the achievements of female participants in our ICT Academy and Women in Tech initiative, in collaboration with the First Lady’s office. We remain committed to empowering women in ICT and leveraging their potential to boost Nigeria’s digital growth.”

Also speaking, the Director of Policy, Research, and Strategy at the Ministry of Communication, Innovation and Digital Economy, Mrs Comfort Kabirwa, emphasised the crucial need for gender equality in technology.

She urged women to take an active role in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to propel Nigeria’s digital economy forward, recognizing the immense potential for growth and development that women’s participation in ICT can bring.

According to her, by embracing ICT, women can leverage technology to drive innovation, entrepreneurship, and economic progress, ultimately contributing to a more prosperous and digitally inclusive Nigeria.

Senior Public Relations Manager, Huawei Nigeria, Dr Oyin Abiola, underscored the company’s multifaceted approach to empowering individuals in the field of ICT.

Abiola said that beyond providing training, Huawei also offers tangible opportunities for outstanding students to apply their skills in real-world settings through employment and internship programmes at the company.
