Policy and legal framework review are processes that take long, and changes required in sectors like technology, which are critical to growth and development, if not anchored locally and innovation locally secured, it will see many people especially in Africa suffer big time. It's not encouraging that global supremacy wars coupled with international trade disputes seem destined to slow down technological development that humanity seems to have hinged their next phase of lives. We have all along depended on the two countries for our technology solutions, and the current tension is a major test for us. We must work to determine our technology growth path, and in so doing connect with partners and regions that offer the best support and partnership in our path to innovation. It's hard to convince anybody that the case involving a Huawei employee and the USA has nothing related to use of trade and politics to assert global dominance.
