A federal judge in the United States ruled on Monday that Google violated antitrust laws by maintaining a monopoly over online search, in what is considered a landmark decision against a major tech company in the modern internet era.
As reported by the New York Times, Judge Amit Mehta of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia concluded in his 277-page judgment that Google had misused its dominance in the search business.
“From pioneering advancements in technology and medicine, to excelling in business, sports and the arts, Nigerians have consistently demonstrated resilience, ingenuity and an unwavering commitment to excellence – wherever they live around the world.
“Our stories of success serve as beacons of inspiration, showcasing the boundless potential that lies within each and every one of us.
“I see this day-to-day, even as I live and work on the other side of the globe,” Dr Ugodike said.
He said in recognition of the role the Nigerian community plays in Canada, “the government of Alberta has declared the month of October as Nigerian Heritage Month in perpetuity.
“We can leverage the skills and experiences of Nigerians in the diaspora to contribute to international development.
“Strengthening ties between Nigeria and Canada can foster mutual growth and development as we explore opportunities for mutual benefit.”
