At this year’s Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2025 in Barcelona, Spain, Joseph Tegbe, Director-General of the Nigeria-China Strategic Partnership (NCSP), emphasises the importance of striking a balance between the risks and innovations that artificial intelligence (AI) brings in the new global order.

Tegbe asserted that although innovation should be completely supported, guiding laws and policies also need to be adaptive and flexible. At the invitation of Huawei Technologies, a global leader in the information, communication, and technology (ICT) value chain in the developing digital economy, he submitted this report on cybersecurity trends to the Global Regulator Roundtable on cybersecurity at the WMC.
Participation by the NCSP team offers chances to gain a better understanding of Huawei Technologies’ range of solutions and capabilities. The annual event, which is the pinnacle of technology, people, and ideas, shapes the future of industries and societies. Tegbe’s position as head of the NCSP, however, shows that the nation is dedicated to utilising the numerous prospects that exist between China and Nigeria.
In important areas like commerce, investment, infrastructure, technology, and foreign policy, it is essential to strengthening bilateral cooperation. The NCSP under Tegbe will be essential in ensuring that both countries profit from their increasing economic interdependence as China firmly establishes itself as Nigeria’s top trading partner.
The partnership is set to soar to previously unheard-of heights, influencing the nation’s diplomatic and economic future for many years to come. Tegbe provides a variety of experience in economic planning, international commerce, and strategic governance, which is appropriate given his background as a policy strategist, economist, and technocrat.
With decades of experience in investment strategy and economic planning, he is a technocrat with economic expertise. In order to make sure the nation maximises its trade and investment links with China, he will be bridging policy and practice by coordinating government agencies, business sector participants, and diplomatic institutions. By simplifying negotiations and guaranteeing cogent policies, the DG will also increase Nigeria’s bargaining leverage and fortify the nation’s stance in talks with China about trade and investment.
