The Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Nkeiruka Onyejeocha, has highlighted Nigeria’s ongoing technology revolution driven by artificial intelligence, machine learning, and automation.
Speaking at a breakfast meeting titled “Sustainability in the AI Era: Business Growth and Employee Retention,” she emphasised. She added that this revolution was reshaping industries and transforming the economy.
In a Monday statement, Onyejeocha noted that AI’s integration into business operations profoundly impacts the Nigerian labour market, unlocking new levels of productivity and innovation.
“While some jobs may be lost, many new roles require higher-level skills in data analysis, AI system management, and cybersecurity,” she stated.
She stressed the importance of preparing the workforce for those emerging opportunities to remain competitive in a rapidly changing environment.
