Huawei Technologies Company Nigeria Limited has introduced the “Seeds for the Future” programme in Nigeria.

This was done at the signing of Memorandum of Understanding between the company and the Federal Government of Nigeria on Tuesday.

The managing director of Huawei Abuja office, Liteng said that the purpose of the program was to nurture young promising ICT professionals in every country where Huawei operates.

Liteng said that the company selects young government official for a study trip in China and that this was the first time they had organized Nigerians to take part.

He said that the program sought to develop local ICT talent, promote a greater understanding in the telecommunication sector and encourage regional building and participation in the digital community.

The M.D further stated that the company shares its ICT expertise and experience with young ICT professionals and helps the development of local ICT industries.

“Huawei came and has been bringing direct and positive changes to Nigerian people and uplifting the standards of the Nigerian technology to match other developed economies in the World”.

Liteng pledged to continue contributing to growth in Nigeria with the help of their advanced and innovative products, solutions and services like “Seeds for the Future”.

The secretary to the government of the federation, Engr. Babachir Lawal commended the company for establishing the ICT training programme as a flagship Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Programme.

Lawal said the Government recognizes the acquisition and deployment of ICT skills as a major contributor to the successes so far achieved in its fight against corruption, insecurity and insurgency.

“I will therefore wish to assure Huawei of the Government’s unflinching support for the success of this programme and that the government is indeed very grateful”.
