Kebbi State Governor, Comrade Dr Nasir Idris, Kauran Gwandu, has expressed the willingness of his administration to partner with HUAWEI Technology Company in three key areas.
The governor gave the assurance when he received a delegation from the company, which paid a courtesy visit to the Government House, Birnin Kebbi.
He observed that the collaboration would no doubt be beneficial to both the company, Kebbi State Government, and its people.
He identified the three key areas as: Security, Solar System, and Education, as mentioned by the visitors, while assuring that: “After scrutinising your proposal, we will decide on specific areas to partner with.
“My government will work with you people especially on those key areas you mentioned, because they are very important to my administration,” he said.
Earlier, the leader of the delegation and Deputy Managing Director, HUAWEI Technology Company, Mr Kayson Young, thanked the governor for considering them to be in Kebbi State.
He added that HUAWEI Technology Company has been in existence in Nigeria for more than 36 years, assuring that the company had been working with the Federal Government, some State Governments, as well as some federal agencies.
He explained that the partnership would go a long way in assisting the people of Kebbi State, especially on security challenges, where CCTV cameras would be mounted in areas facing security challenges.
“We are going to do so many things that will help the state in fighting corruption, security challenges, promote education, and implement the solar system scheme,” he said.
