Folalumi Alaran in Abuja
Stakeholders have urged Nigerian students to urgently embrace artificial intelligence (AI) and other emerging digital skills, warning that academic certificates alone may no longer be sufficient to secure meaningful employment in an increasingly technology-driven labour market.
The charge was given at the maiden Career Guidance and Skills Acquisition Workshop organised by the Open Africa Foundation in collaboration with the Nigeria Police Reform Secretariat, held at Government Secondary School, Gwarimpa, Abuja Tuesday.
The workshop, themed ‘The Future of Work in the Age of Artificial Intelligence (AI): Empowering Young Minds, Shaping the Future,’ brought together education and security stakeholders to prepare students for evolving job realities shaped by rapid technological advancement.
