Huawei ready for partnership to connect Ghanaian households with broadband Internet.
Jenny Zhou, Huawei’s Director of Public and Government Affairs in Ghana, said Huawei is dedicated to working with the Ghanaian government on a revolutionary initiative to link all homes to high-speed Internet.

Huawei, she added, is in the greatest position to deliver technological solutions, equipment, and deployment to link new and current families with broadband Internet connections because of its strong worldwide track record in technological innovation.
Huawei, she continued, will take advantage of infrastructure sharing by cooperating with important players such as the Ghana Electricity Company (ECG) to make use of existing infrastructure that links Ghanaian households and companies.
She encouraged Ghanaian politicians to keep advocating legislation that would integrate fiber connections in new buildings in order to support future digitalization.“Huawei believes in education and understands that the rapid speed of current technology advancement necessitates the creation of a qualified workforce to keep up with it.”
After nearly two decades of doing business in Ghana, she said, the business has a good knowledge of the government’s educational system and, through its Tech4All initiative, is supporting the prioritization of ICT in schools so that subjects like coding and artificial intelligence (AI) are introduced to Ghanaian children in primary schools.
Jenny Zhou noted that Huawei has committed one million dollars in a technology-enabled open school in collaboration with UNESCO in order to assist build a standard for basic education that incorporates ICT.
