Nigeria is stepping up its game! With a new focus on AI, the government and educators are working to ensure students and teachers are equipped for the future, making AI literacy a top priority in the education system.
Education experts are calling for early AI training for students and teachers, emphasizing that AI should be integrated into Nigeria’s curriculum now. The Federal Ministry of Education has already introduced AI and digital literacy into secondary schools, including a new subject, “Digital Literacy,” which incorporates AI and robotics. The goal? Prepare Nigerian youth for a competitive AI economy and bridge the digital divide.
Several initiatives highlight Nigeria’s commitment, from policy frameworks and pilot projects to research and training programs aimed at making AI a core part of learning and innovation across the country. Experts stress that responsible, inclusive AI education will unlock Nigeria’s potential and transform its future.
