The Director-General of the Nigeria-China Strategic Partnership (NCSP), Joseph Tegbe, at this year’s Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2025 in Barcelona, Spain, harps on the need to balance innovation and risk that Artificial Intelligence (AI) presents in the new world order.

Tegbe averred that while innovation should be fully encouraged, guiding regulations and policies must be flexible and adaptable.

This was his submission on cybersecurity trends at the Global Regulator Roundtable on cybersecurity, at the WMC on the invitation of Huawei Technologies, a global leader in the information, communication and technology (ICT) value chain, in the evolving digital economy.

The annual event, which is the ultimate confluence of technology, people, and ideas, creates the blueprint for future industries and societies, and the NCSP team’s participation presents opportunities for a deeper understanding of the array of solutions and capabilities of Huawei Technologies.

However, Tegbe’s role as the NCSP boss signals the country’s commitment to maximising the vast opportunities between both Nigeria and China. It is pivotal to enhancing bilateral cooperation in key sectors, such as trade, investment, infrastructure, technology, and foreign policy.

As China solidifies its role as Nigeria’s top trade partner, NCSP under Tegbe will play a crucial role in ensuring both nations benefit from their growing economic interdependence, as the partnership is poised to reach unprecedented heights, shaping the country’s economic and diplomatic future for decades to come.

Fittingly, as an experienced policy strategist, economist, and technocrat, Tegbe brings a wealth of expertise in economic planning, international trade, and strategic governance.

He is a technocrat with economic expertise with decades of experience in economic planning and investment strategy. He will be bridging policy and practice, by coordinating government agencies, private sector players, and diplomatic entities to ensure the country maximises its trade and investment relations with China.

The DG will also enhance Nigeria’s bargaining power, by streamlining negotiations and ensuring coherent policies, and will strengthen the country’s position in trade and investment discussions with China.
