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 ‘’the 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 growth’’.
He further said that the partnership is also, a big step forward in strengthening Nigeria’s 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 Nigeria’s potentials and then, urged everyone involved to support the project, adding that together, we can make STI, the driven force of the country’s 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 Minister’s Press Conference in January 2024 to operationalize the STI 2017-2030 Roadmap

Many thanks to the federal government of Nigeria and especially to the honourable minister for this very laudable project that will take nigeriàns from out of poverty and make us not only creative but employers of labour.👍
I applaud the Federal Government for the commendable initiative of establishing an AI Academy. This is a significant step towards equipping citizens with the skills needed to thrive in the evolving technological landscape. However, I would like to humbly request that resources and support be made available for the local development of AI-driven devices such as drones and robots post-training. This approach will not only reduce dependency on imports but also foster innovation, create jobs, and position our nation as a leader in AI technology.
Yea bro
This is a great and it is so impressive
This is a great and it is so impressive. I will be part of it in shaa Allah

Great opporitunity to grow ,I have registered
This is wonderful, and great opportunities for us Nigerians. I pray to Allah for the success of this program and to be part of it from the beginning to the end of it ameen.
This is a good move by the federal government.however,we have seen programs similar to this(3MTT) not yield the required impact in the lives of average Nigerians.
If the ministry can employ expert training providers that have a well structured curriculum,it will be more impactful, rather than living it in the hands of shabby organizations.
Secondly,it’s one thing to have a skill and another to have the resource to fully convert the skills to source of livelihood and also undertake research that drives our dear country to greater heights.to this effect,the government should look at providing laptops for top graduating individuals and also present a reliable internship opportunities for the participants.it takes time for one to reach a stage of contributing positively with this skills hence proper guidance after the program should be a major concern.

Let this program be taken to the grass roots.
This is a very interesting, I will suggest that the internship should extends to all students either b.sc,pgd, masters or phd
This is a great idea
Such a great and innovative skillful idea am so interested in this
Thank you. please visit https://scienceandtech.gov.ng/academy/ to register
This is interestingly interesting. I will be part of it 🙏👏👍♥️
This is a very interesting, I will suggest that the internship should extends to all student’s academic and nown academic. If the ministry can employ casual or expert training providers that have a well structured curriculum, it will be more impactful, rather than living it in the hands of shabby organizations.

A very commendable work. Internship programs should also be added to this training to help for proper application of this program.
Thank God for this grand opportunity, I would partake in the programme. Kudos to the Federal Government.

Thank you for your comments, they are duly noted. The course is open to Nigerians from diverse educational and professional backgrounds, including youth, students, and civil servants.
This is great achievement much interest to be part of this journey, May God Almighty continue to bless the federal Republic of Nigeria.
It will be a life changing experience being a part of this program
Wow Fantastic program 👏
This is a right step channeled on the right direction,but my take is that the internship program should not be restricted to only the undergraduate students, it should be left open to all because AI is taking over the world and any one who wants to go beyond the beginners stage should also be encouraged and empowered to do so.
Again in other climes the government had made the environment so enabling that the accessibility of the knowledge of science and AI is just like being able to speak their lingual Franca and this has eased the application, mastering of the acquired knowledge and transitioning so seamless.
I think that our government should do same so as to be able to harness more talents and also hit the desired target.
Thank you for your kind words. Please note that the course is open to Nigerians from diverse educational and professional backgrounds, including youth, students, and civil servants.
I love this initiative by the FG ..God bless Africa forever
