In a bid to foster technological growth and digital transformation in Nigeria, Director General of the Nigeria-China Strategic Partnership (NCSP), Joseph Tegbe, engaged in investment talks with Huawei Technologies’ leadership team.

The meeting aimed to strengthen collaboration and explore opportunities for Nigeria’s digital advancement, aligning with the country’s vision for a more technologically driven economy.

This was at the technical sessions of the 2025 Mobile World Congress (MWC), where Tegbe and members of his delegation from Nigeria participated.

Discussions were held with Huawei Vice President, Mr Tony Bao and President Sub-Saharan Africa Region,Mr Hover Gao.

At the meeting, Huawei Technologies restated its commitment to support Nigeria in the acceleration of the country’s digital transformation.

Tegbe also harped on the need to balance innovation and risk that Artificial Intelligence (AI) presents in the new world order.

He averred that while innovation should be fully encouraged, guiding regulations and policies must be flexible and adaptable.

The annual event, which is the ultimate confluence of technology, people, and ideas, creates the blueprint for future industries and societies, and the NCSP team’s participation presents opportunities for a deeper understanding of an array of solutions and capabilities of Huawei Technologies.

Tegbe’s role as the NCSP boss signals the country’s commitment to maximising the vast opportunities between both Nigeria and China.

It is pivotal to enhancing bilateral cooperation in key sectors, such as trade, investment, infrastructure, technology, and foreign policy.
