The Job Fair is an important part of the Huawei talent ecosystem development strategy which aims at developing talents, promoting a favorable business environment and strengthening partnership within the industry.
A key aspect of ICT development in Nigeria is the cultivation of ICT talents in all industries. Looking to bridge the gap between Industry requirements and the Academia, Huawei continually leverages on the technologies, knowledge, experience, and successful practices it has gained over years of operations in the ICT industry to cultivate more high-quality ICT talent. Huawei does this through building sustainable partnership between the Industries, Government and the Academia.
As part of this, Nigeria’s Ministry of Communication and Digital Economy recently partnered with Huawei towards developing ICT Talents by signing an MOU with the Ministry of Communications and digital economy to train 3,000 students in ICT thereby expanding the digital economy. This is done through different initiatives, one of which is the Huawei ICT Academy which has partnered with over 100 educational institutions in Nigeria, including Ahmadu Bello University, University of Port Harcourt, University of Ibadan, Rufus Giwa Polytechnic and other renowned institutions.

U.S. warns world telecom industry against Huawei
The U.S. on Wednesday warned telecom companies around the world against doing business with the embattled Chinese technology giant, Huawei.
The Department of State in a statement, said those doing business with the firm should consider themselves fraternising with “human rights abusers”.
“Telecommunications companies around the world should consider themselves on notice.
“If they are doing business with Huawei, they are doing business with human rights abusers,” the statement said.
It announced visa restrictions on some employees of Hauwei and other unidentified Chinese tech firms for allegedly facilitating human right violations.
It alleged that certain Huawei employees “provide material support” to the Chinese government “that commits human rights abuses”.
The administration of President Donald Trump has been pressuring allies to cut Huawei off their 5G networks over cyber security concerns.
Trump accuses the Chinese government of using the company to conduct cyber espionage, an accusation Huawei denied.
In 2019, the U.S. government threatened to severe intelligence sharing ties with allies that patronise Huawei 5G products.
Wednesday’s visa restriction announcement came barely 24 hours after the United Kingdom banned the company from its 5G networks.
Welcoming the ban, Pompeo said the UK had joined “a growing list of countries from around the world that are standing up for their national security”.
In June, Pompeo declared that “the tide is turning against Huawei as citizens around the world are waking up to the danger of the Chinese Communist Party’s surveillance state.” (NAN)
