Over the years, the ICT competition has made a significant impact in Nigeria, with the country’s students consistently demonstrating their abilities. Since its introduction in 2018, Nigeria has participated in four sessions of the competition, achieving notable success. The country secured the grand prize in both the network track and cloud track in the 2019/2020 edition, followed by another grand prize in the network track in the 2021/2022 edition. This year, the Nigeria Innovation Team’s victory in the Innovation Track further solidifies the country’s reputation as a hotbed of technological talent.

Expressing her delight and appreciation for the competition, Jimoh Maryam Ololade, a member of the winning ABU-based Nigeria Innovation Team, shared her impressions of the vibrant city of Shenzhen, China. She marveled at the city’s rapid development, innovative spirit, and its position as a global tech hub. Ololade described the competition as a remarkable experience that showcased the passion, creativity, and talent of all participants. She attributed their team’s success to the collective dedication, hard work, and support from individuals such as Professor M.B. MUAZU, their instructor Mr. Aliyu ISA ELAYO, professors, and lecturers from ABU’s Faculty of Engineering & Law, as well as Huawei Nigeria.

Professor Owunari Georgewill, the Vice Chancellor of the University of Port Harcourt, lauded the achievement of Nigeria Network Team 1 and encouraged other faculties to follow suit, bringing honor to the university. The success of Nigerian teams in the global ICT competition reflects the growing prowess of the country’s educational institutions and their commitment to nurturing talented individuals.

Haijun Xiao, the President of Global Partner Development and Sales Department of Huawei Enterprise Business Group, emphasized the company’s commitment to talent development. He stressed the importance of technical skills and capabilities in building a digital economy and expressed hope that the competition would cultivate more ICT talents for each country and region.
