TD, Huawei Join Forces to Develop Enterprise Market
Technology Distributions (TD) Limited, number one ICT Distributor in West Africa and Huawei, leading global ICT solutions provider, have come together in a partnership designed to create maximum value for telecom carriers, enterprises and consumers by providing competitive ICT solutions and services.
The ICT giants are pulling their resources together – Huawei, its innovative and trusted manufacturing capacities and TD, her highly motivated and massive distribution network in West Africa – to provide a wide range of efficient ICT solutions and services to enterprise customers of all sizes, according to Mrs. Chioma Ekeh, managing director, TD while receiving the Huawei Distributors License.
Ekeh described the partnership as timely because it was coming at a time when Government was embarking on a transformation program across all sectors of the economy.
Huge investments were being made in the transportation, energy, education, health, aviation etc and it would be absurd if Huawei enterprise solutions, deployed already in 140 countries, were not part of the choices that TD would offer to her top notch clientele.
Besides, she added, 2015, the date set for the attainment of the MDGs was just a stone throw away and industry analysts were expecting that Governments and NGOs would make further heavy investments in ICT infrastructure.
The TD boss assured resellers and the market that characteristically TD would stock large quantities of Huawei Enterprise Servers, Enterprise Switches, Enterprise Routers, E-sight, WLAN Solutions, Firewall Solutions, Tele-presence Solutions and UPS. She reaffirmed the TD commitment to immediate delivery anywhere in West Africa.
As usual every purchase from TD would come in the traditional incentive-laden package for which TD has become legendary.
Presenting the Distributors, License earlier, Mr. Vincent Zhou, director, Channel Department, Huawei, had said that Huawei appointed TD a Distributor after an impressive assessment of her capacities in corporate governance, marketing, financial muscle, and logistics.
Zhou revealed that Huawei Enterprise is one of Huawei’s three business groups. He said that the TD partnership would leverage on Huawei’s strong R&D capabilities to service customers in government and MDAs, finance and banking, oil and gas, commercial businesses and ISPs.
This partnership would reinforce the customer-centred vision of both companies and deliver end to end capabilities and strengths across the carrier networks, enterprise, consumer and cloud computing fields.
Zhou urged all stake holders in the marketing chain to join hands with the partnership to promote the development of the ICT industry and society at large.
Since 1999 Technology Distributions has provided the platform for the successful marketing of the world’s leading ICT brands.
Armed with a logistics arm in the Netherlands and the UK, motivated professional workforce, and responsible corporate governance, TD maintains the most elaborate and focused ICT distribution network in sub-Saharan Africa.
The TD product portfolio includes Microsoft, HP, APC by Schneider, and Epson. Others are Dell, Samsung, Toshiba, IBM, Zinox, Lenovo, iDirect, and Canon.

Legit.ng, Shade of Life Foundation Partner to Advance Autism Awareness in Nigeria
Legit.ng recently joined forces with the Shade of Life Foundation to become a voice of autism, and drive advocacy for improved media support during Autism Awareness Month.
Conversations around media support exploration was led by Joseph Omotayo, head of Department for Human Interest Stories at Legit.ng, and Dr. Eziafakaku Nwokolo, founder and CEO of the Shade of Life Foundation,
This partnership is a response to the concerns raised by organizations like the Shade of Life Foundation about the level of support received from the media in discussing autism as a disability.
While other disabilities may receive attention, autism, with its critical developmental implications often lacks adequate representation in mainstream media.
Recognizing the importance of addressing these concerns, Legit.ng took proactive steps by integrating itself into the essence of autism awareness.
It facilitated a one-hour workshop with Dr. Nwokolo, the founder of the foundation, to deepen our understanding of autism, its various spectrums, and the language boundaries associated with it.
Other steps we took in advocating autism awareness in the media, can be seen in our attached press release.
Legit.ng believes that by amplifying the voices of autism and advocating for better media representation, we can contribute to creating a more inclusive and accepting society for all.

As Nigeria Struggle, Tanzania Turns off Power Plants Due to Excess Supply
While 85 per cent of Nigeria is in darkness, Tanzania, an African country has shut down five hydroelectric stations in a bid to reduce excess electricity in the national grid.
Kassim Majaliwa, prime minister, Tanzania, has said the main plant, Mwalimu Nyerere Hydroelectric Station, alone generated enough electricity to power major cities, including Dar es Salaam, the country’s commercial hub.
It is the first time Tanzania, which suffers chronic power shortages, has closed hydroelectric stations due to excess production.
“We have turned off all these stations because the demand is low and the electricity production is too much, we have no allocation now,” an official from state-run power company, Tanesco, said.
The 2,115MW Julius Nyerere Hydropower Dam is said to be almost filled with water following heavy rains that started early this year.
Meanwhile, while the country has an installed capacity of 1,938MW and the grid installed capacity of 1,899MW, Nigeria which has an installed capacity of 13,000MW is struggling to electrify 85 per cent of its electricity consumers.
