Huawei Nigeria has invested 100 million NGN ($
616,956.89) in a six-month vocational training for 41
Niger Delta youths. The 41 beneficiaries attending the
scholarship program left the country on Sunday for
Malaysia. Before leaving the country, each beneficiary
had undergone a two-week orientation and basic ICT
training in order to develop their ICT skills.
According to vanguardngr.com, it is expected that at the
end of the training in many areas including telecom
technical training, practical sessions, Telecom
certification, internship and entrepreneurial skills
training, these young Nigerians will return to the country
to apply the skills acquired to make a difference in the
development of Nigeria.
Speaking on behalf of the Special Adviser to the
President on Niger Delta, Hon. Kingsley Kuku, the
Technical Adviser to the Special Adviser to the President
on Niger Delta, Mr. Lawrence Pepple, informed that the
program is part of the strategy of his office to empower
Nigerian youths with technology skills for global
competitiveness.
At the completion of the program, the trainees will have
the opportunity to be employed at Nigerian ICT
companies, IT departments in other industries, or
eventually start their own business with the skills
acquired from the capacity building program.
