Over 2,000 Nigerian youths are jostling for 280 job vacancies at the information technology company, Huawei.
Huawei, with presence in more than 170 countries, had organized a job fair on Wednesday in Abuja.
The youths who came in from different parts of the country, submitted their resumes to some of the IT companies at the fair.
Some of the applicants were interviewed at the venue for possible employment.
The Huawei Deputy Managing Director for Cyber Security, Mr Osita Nweze, who represented the Managing Director, expressed commitment to contributing to the Gross Domestic Growth of Nigeria.
He said one of the major commitments of the company was to help bridge the unemployment gap in the country by creating job opportunities.
Mr Nweze said there were lots of talents in the country that could be explored to contribute to the country’s ICT growth.
He said the company was focused on four major areas in carrying out its mandate.
The four areas according to him are seeds for future programme, ICT academy, ICT competition as well as the job fair.
“Nigeria as a nation provides investment in Information Communication Technology (ICT), meanwhile, the workforce of a nation is the most valuable asset meant to grow the nation.
“It is in this light we assembled key players in the industry today,’’ he said.
