Nigeria must not be left behind. We must equip our youth with the skills needed to compete globally,” he said

Delivering the keynote address, Plateau State Commissioner for Science and Technology, Dr Cletus Bako Shurkuk, highlighted the potential impact of automation and artificial intelligence on jobs. “This is not just a warning; it is a reality.
