their society and country with the knowledge and skills acquired.

The Ghana Ambassador to China, H.E. Edward Boateng who was the Special Guest of Honor, commended Huawei for their contribution in the development of ICT talents in Ghana and urged the students to use the knowledge they have acquired to lead the digitization drive in Ghana and the sub region.

Speaking at the event, Huawei Student ambassador for University of Ghana, Joshua Eyram Wordey said “Our appreciation goes to Huawei for conceiving, grooming and implementing the idea of the Seeds for the Future program.”

“We are committed to put in our very best in learning more about these fields and the potential they possess. 5G, AI and Cloud computing are the future and we are privileged to be involved in this training.
