She hailed Huawei for contributing to Uganda’s digital transformation agenda.

“The Huawei Cloud program emphasizes the  role of digital transformation in creating jobs and boosting economic growth especially for SMEs.  With this new program, SMEs will now use digital solutions to grow as they continue to be pivotal in changing the country’s future,” Nakadama said.
