Nigeria’s Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo has come out to urge tech companies with interests in Nigeria to do more than just capacity building for the nation’s youthful population.

He recently revealed this during a virtual call with Huawei Nigeria and the people have been reacting.

According to him, the business relationship between the Nigerian government and Huawei should lead to the employment of Nigerian youths because they badly need opportunities.

He added that Huawei is not just seen as a business by Nigerians, but a brand that’s interested in them going forward.

His words, “I want us to do something groundbreaking and different.

“Let’s see something that gives young people more than training, gives them some opportunity as well, because this ecosystem will require a lot of people who see Huawei not just as a business but a brand that’s interested in them going forward.”
