Glo-Huawei ICT Solutions Outreach Moves To Unilorin

Nigerian telecoms giant, Globacom, and Chinese tech outfit, Huawei Technologies, have moved their ICT intervention programme to the University of Ilorin, where they presented free communications gadgets to the university and five of its best students under an ongoing nationwide campaign to equip tertiary institutions with IT solutions.

Each of the students who had the highest CGPA points in the tertiary institutions received advanced smartphones loaded with six months data by the telecommunications giants while the institution also got pre-loaded routers. The management of the institution also received five routers each to boost learning through research and teaching.

The lucky students included Famuyiwa Oluwaseyi of the Statistics Department; Nissi Emma-Adama of the Computer Science Department; Akinleye Enoch of Biochemistry Department; Oluwakorede Adedeji of Pharmacy Department and Abdullahi Adekola of Medicine Department.

Professor Bolaji Sule, the Deputy Vice Chancellor of the institution, said the facilities would empower the students to undertake researches as well as encourage other students to be more studious and diligent in their academic pursuits.
Globacom’s State Manager in charge of Kwara, Folarin Fafiyebi, attributed his company’s magnanimity to its special interest in the academic development of the university.

He stated that Glo 4G is available in most tertiary institutions in the country, thereby validating the claim that Globacom has the widest and most reliable 4G LTE coverage in Nigeria. He also encouraged the university community to upgrade to the technology in order to avail themselves of the new speed of life and enjoy memorable communication experience on the network
