As part of
government's effort at addressing the issue of unemployment, the Office
of the Special Assistant to the President on Youth and Student Affairs
(SAPYSA) has developed a partnership with a leading global ICT solution
provider, Huawei Technologies to initiate a social development programme
that would empower 1000 youths in Information and Communication
Technology.
The initiative
which would be overseen by the Special Assistant to the President on
Youth and Student Affairs, Nasir Adhama would commence at a date to be
announced soon.
The Presidential
aide said that his office would select and screen the beneficiary
participants from all geopolitical zones of the country for the
training.
Adhama said:
“Out of the 1,000 youth that would be trained by Huawei Africa, 200
would be sent to China for more training on ICT.”
He stressed
that: “There are many programmes and activities that would get our
youths engaged and involved, especially our brothers and sisters in
Niger Delta and North East who will also benefit from the Huawei
partnership programme.
“We strongly
seek for the cooperation and supports of all Nigerian youths from the
nook and cranny of the federation to move our nation forward,” he
concluded.
It would be
recalled that during the visit of President Muhammadu Buhari to China,
the Special Assistant also met with the leaders of the telecommunication
company on the proposed ICT programme.
Huawei which is
one of the global brands in ICT, would also establish a world class ICT
centre in Nigeria to create more opportunities for Nigerian Youths.
