Hello there!

Welcome to another exciting series of our Big 5 daily tech gist.

Have a good read!

 

The East African regional United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has partnered Huawei to scale digital skill acquisition in the country. The training is part of Huawei’s TECH4ALL project and will help UNESCO achieve social development goals.

Next, on the Big 5, the National Information Technology Agency of Nigeria (NITDA) is probing Truecaller. The app has been accused of breaching over 7million user’s privacy by acquiring and sharing user data without permission.

Hurray! The second edition of Facebook Accelerator Bootcamp is set to begin soon. The Bootcamp will provide accelerator programme for startups that leverage modern technologies like Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things, Data Science, and Augmented/Virtual Realities to develop solutions.

Rain telco has partnered Huawei to launch commercial 5G service in South Africa. The launch of the 5G network will help South Africa move toward the fourth industrial revolution and help increase the use of modern technology in the country.

And finally, Facebook has acquired ServiceFriend and CTRL Lab, two startups in Israel and New York City, respectively. The acquisition is spurred by the need to expand Facebook services and equip other gadgets by the tech company.

 

That is it for today. Just before you go, we also want to notify you of the latest changes on Twitter. One of the features will help the user move from one group to the other, while the second will hide comments on users’ posts. Go check your Twitter page to confirm these features.
