Huawei Champions Smart Transformation of Nigeria’s Hospitality Industry

Huawei Nigeria  has reaffirmed its commitment to transforming the country’s hospitality sector through cutting-edge digital solutions that enhance efficiency, sustainability, and guest experiences. This announcement came during the Smart Hotel Solutions Conference, where the company unveiled a suite of intelligent hotel management technologies designed to accelerate digital transformation across the industry.

Addressing participants at the event, Vito Zhao, Director of Commercial and Distribution Sales at Huawei Nigeria, highlighted that the introduction of these innovations comes at a crucial time for the nation’s hospitality market. He explained that the technologies aim to help hotels streamline operations, reduce costs, boost revenue, and deliver superior guest satisfaction, ultimately positioning them for long-term competitiveness in a fast-evolving landscape.

Zhao emphasized that Huawei’s smart solutions represent a major step toward data-driven, intelligent hospitality operations, offering hotel owners tools to improve energy efficiency, optimize resource use, and strengthen customer loyalty.

Olugbenga Sunday, Convener of the Hotel Managers Conference Africa, noted that global hotel management is undergoing a profound transformation as travelers increasingly expect seamless, technology-powered experiences. He urged Nigerian hoteliers to embrace digital systems capable of meeting the expectations of modern guests—who demand personalized, connected, and frictionless service from check-in to check-out.

Sunday warned that hotels failing to adapt to this shift risk losing market relevance, while those that embrace intelligent technology will secure stronger guest loyalty and sustainable growth.

During the event, Matamela Aubrey Mashau, Chief Technology Officer for Huawei Southern Africa Region, and Olayemi Joseph, Senior Solutions Architect at Huawei Nigeria, showcased the company’s latest innovations, including the Xinghe High-Quality Hotel Network Solution and the Integrated CCTV/FTTR Solution. These solutions feature Wi-Fi 7 technology for seamless connectivity, anti-peeping privacy protection, and energy-efficient network infrastructure to ensure safety, sustainability, and improved return on investment.

The conference also featured partner presentations from Radisson Blu , August Resources, 21st Century Evolution Systems, and Valinno BioduxPMS, with live demonstrations illustrating how smart hotel systems can revolutionize guest services, security, and operations management.

Huawei’s vision for Nigeria’s hospitality industry underscores the company’s broader mission to empower businesses through digital innovation, enabling them to deliver world-class experiences and drive economic transformation across Africa.
