Following a meeting with Google and Alphabet CEO, Sundar Pichai, in France, Tinubu shared on his official X handle on Wednesday, that discussions focused on AI research, cloud infrastructure, workforce development, and positioning Nigeria as a global tech hub.
He highlighted Nigeria’s existing AI prospects, including Awarri Technologies, with whom the government is collaborating to develop AI software for the local market.
