We are honoured to participate in the Federal Ministry of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy (
@FMCIDENigeria)'s 8 series of strategic events at
#UNGA 80th edition in New York as a member of the
@aicollectiveng, advancing a whole-of-ecosystem agenda (talent, platforms, regulations data, and partnerships) for inclusive growth.
Highlights:
a. Unveiling the
@3MTTNigeria “
@DeepTech_Ready” Global Mentorship (
@wesonlineng), a platform that connects Nigerian learners to world-class experts across the world for hands-on, career-ready experience.
b. Announcing Deep Learning Indaba 2026 (
@DeepIndaba)- the first edition in Nigeria and a landmark moment to galvanise research, community, and Africa-led innovation.
c. Facilitating “AI for All”- a practical discussion on how talent pipelines, resilient infrastructure, smart regulation, and cross-sector partnerships can make AI work for Nigeria
d. Session co-hosted by
@Microsoft with the presence of the Honourable Minister, Dr
@bosuntijani and Distinguished Senator,
@SalisuShuaibA, Chairman, Senate Committee on ICT & Cybersecurity (I took one of the pictures with the two of them)
The takeaway is clear: with coordinated action on skills, compute, open data, and responsible governance, Nigeria can set the pace for African AI that delivers real public value at scale.
