GOOGLE AND NIGERIA LAUNCH AI TRAINING PROGRAM FOR PUBLIC SERVANTS

Nigeria’s public servants are getting a digital boost! Google and the Ministry of Communications team up to roll out the Apolitical Government AI Campus, empowering civil servants with AI skills to transform governance. The initiative offers practical online courses, expert sessions, and global peer learning on AI fundamentals, ethical use, and leadership. Minister Dr. Bosun Tijani highlighted AI’s role in speeding up government processes and delivering better services.

Google’s Olumide Balogun said investing in public sector talent is key to Nigeria’s digital growth, while Apolitical’s Chris Ferguson called the program vital for confident AI adoption in government. The training connects Nigeria to a global AI community to exchange ideas and best practices.
