Honourable Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology, Chief Uche Geoffrey Nnaji has said that the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) will create a great platform for all Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) resources and stakeholders in the country.
Nnaji said this, during the signing of Memorandum of Understanding(MOU} between the Ministry and DAIMLAS CORP a US based technology firm, recently, in Abuja.
According to Nnaji ββthe collaboration will help every State in Nigeria to align with National Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) goals, encourage innovation by providing a place for collaboration and research as well as open doors for International partnerships, and growthββ.
He further said that the partnership is also, a big step forward in strengthening Nigeriaβs Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) sector, which is a key part of our 2017-2030 STI Roadmap in the country.
To this end, the Minister commended DAIMLAS CORP for believing in Nigeriaβs potentials and then, urged everyone involved to support the project, adding that together, we can make STI, the driven force of the countryβs growth and development.
Speaking, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, Mrs. Esuabana Nko Asanye said that many emerging innovative technologies, particularly Artificial Intelligence, will discourage our teeming youths from migrating to other Countries as they will be enhanced to develop their talents for a better future.
She pointed out that it will assure improved agriculture, health and infrastructure sectors as well as achieving our desired goal by 2030.
Earlier, the Chief Executive Officer of DAIMLAS CORP, Joseph Wehbe said that the idea of the project is to ensure that all the states in the Country align with the 2030 innovation Roadmap, of building a home grown technologies rather that consumers of technologies nation.
He further said that He is here to represent a New Jersey based Artificial Intelligence Ecosystem Company, adding that its outreach was inspired by the Honorable Ministerβs Press Conference in January 2024 to operationalize the STI 2017-2030 Roadmap
