ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND THE NIGERIAN WORKFORCE

By Prof Barth Nnaji

It is my pleasure to be in your midst today. The topic you have chosen for discussion is globally relevant because the implications of the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for the workforce are of interest to every person in the world. The Chartered Institute of Personnel Management (CIPM) is alive to its responsibility to its members and Nigerian society. I have always had strong emotional attachment to CIPM and similar bodies everywhere. My strong attachment to talent development owes to the fact no organisation or society make worthwhile progress without well-developed human resources, otherwise known in the modern world as talent. Singapore, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, and Israel are highly respected because of their high level of development. Yet they have practically no mineral resources.

By Bola Bolawole

President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Professor Emmanuel Victor Osodeke, has given hope that the eight-month-old strike action by his members may soon come to an end – whether gloriously or ingloriously, I must add! The intervention of the House of Representatives, led by its speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila, must have broken the ice so much so that Osodeke could confidently announce that he (interpreted, ASUU?) has sighted light at the end of the tunnel: After eight wasted months, which is like three academic semesters!
