The Vice-Chairman, New Kunchingoro, IDP camp, Alhaji Usman Adamu, said: “Everybody is happy as you can see on the faces of the women, children, young men and elderly men. We still cannot believe a global company like Huawei, known all over the world will remember a small IDP camp like this somewhere in the North-central of Nigeria. We are truly grateful.”

In a goodwill message to the camps, Mr. Kelvin Yangyang, the Deputy Managing Director, Huawei Technologies Company Nigeria Limited, related the heart of the company on organizing such a CSR programme.

Representing the chairman of the Area 1 IDP camp, Mr. Umar Ali, the Camp Provost, expressed gratitude to Huawei, saying: “We say big thank you to Huawei Technologies for all these.”

Mrs. Liatu Ayuba, the Women Coordinator, led the women in songs to express thanks to the company for remembering their IDP camp. She also led prayers to express their sincere thanks.

Speaking in a media interview about other initiatives of the company, Yangyang said: “Asides donating charity items, Huawei in Nigeria is privileged to have contributed to the growth of ICT in Nigeria through skills and knowledge transfer initiatives, capacity building programmes, partnerships with other private and public organisations.”
