Four teams from Nigeria have secured two grand prizes and two first prizes at the Huawei ICT Competition 2023-2024 Global Final held in Shenzhen, China, on May 26.

At the competition designed to help students enhance their ICT knowledge and practical skills, the Nigerian teams emerged as part of 19 teams from nine countries that won the Grand Prizes of the Practice and Innovation Competitions.

This 8th edition of the Huawei ICT Competition, themed “Connection, Glory and Future,” attracted more than 170,000 students from over 2,000 universities and colleges across more than 80 countries and regions, making it the largest offline competition since its launch.

More than 160 teams, consisting of over 470 contestants from 49 different countries and regions, made it through national and regional competitions to reach this year’s global final.

The Nigeria team, comprising four students from the University of Ibadan – Rufus Olusoji Adisa, Tolani Adekunle Adisa, Chibueze Emmanuel Ibekwe, and Lawrence Chukwuemeka, won the grand prize in the Computing Track category.

In the Cloud Track category, another Nigeria team also from the University of Ibadan won the grand prize. The students include Lukman Oyeniyi Abdulyekeen, Sodiq Babawale, and Temiloluwa Oloye.

Two teams from the Federal University of Technology, Minna, also won first prizes in the Network Track category. Students in Team 1 include Knimi Bakna Musa, Kaosar Salaudeen Ahmad, Taiye Ayantola, and Oluwagbemiga Victor Ogundele, while Team 2 consists of Justus Ilegieuno, Yusuf Olanrewaju Toye, and Jamiu Damilare Dahunsi.

The Nigerian students beat thousands of competitors at the national level competition, testing a range of practical and theoretical digital skills, and represented Nigeria at the regional level contest where they qualified for the finals in China.

Speaking at the event, the President of Huawei’s ICT Strategy and Business Development Department, Ritchie Peng, described ICT as the cornerstone of the intelligent world.

“ICT is the cornerstone of the intelligent world. Through the Huawei ICT Competition, we aim to provide students with a global platform to compete and exchange ideas.”

confirmed news before publishing

I deleted my earlier videos that showed a burning village in the Niger Delta region that was purportedly from reprisal attacks against Okuama community by the Nigerian Army @HQNigeriaArmy upon new evidence that this was from an old different incident in Nembe, Bayelsa state. [b]I apologise for the wrong video. [/b]However, I insist that the Nigerian Army @HQNigeriaArmy desist from further reprisal attacks against innocent civilians in Okuama and any other settlement in the Niger Delta region, I call for an impartial investigation to unravel the real culprits involved in killing Nigerian soldiers Okuama. The Nigerian Armed forces must refrain from further reprisal attacks against villages in the area

SoNature:
Nobody has ever condemned loans. Even Peter Obi has repeatedly maintained that there's nothing wrong with borrowing. What is bad is borrowing to loot or sustain the lifestyle of a privileged few.

In advanced countries, their people live practically by borrowing and paying back later.
Every government in the world borrows to finance their budget too.

SoNature:
It's becoming clearer why Governor Alex Otti drew a huge budget that will be financed from borrowing.

As an ex-banker, he has connections in the banking industry. I hope there are clear-cut plans for repaying the loans. This man will go far in leadership!

OfoIgbo:
Why should we ask GEJ to build us a seaport? Did we ask Tinubu to build us a seaport?

Ask your ugly drug-dealer president to stop blocking the Igbo efforts at building a seaport, and test this your chest-beating hypothesis.

ImmaculateJOE:
LP National Chairman should go to the North

AsomughaChuks05:
This kind of massive love will surely elicit envy in some quarters. Governor Chukwuma Soludo CFR is undouthe best governor in the south east. Others should copy from him. All these achievements without borrowing a dime unlike some propaganda driven governors in the region.
