In a time where data drives decision making and innovation, the journey of artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed from a technical concept to a cornerstone of modern business strategies. And today, we’ve reached the point in the evolution of data’s ‘AI-dentity’ that demands careful navigation to ensure that organisations are able to unlock real business value, but also maintain ethical and responsible practices.

Climbing Maslow’s AI hierarchy

Phil Anderson, Sales Manager for Digital Business Solutions at Datacentrix, places significant focus on having the right building blocks in place to manage risk versus deriving business value.

Anderson draws a parallel between Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and a business’s journey with AI, where foundational layers such as responsible and ethical AI policy, robust data management and governance, considered platform choices, and the human factors all need to be considered to form the foundation of sustainable innovation. This is reflected in the current market, where…

EFCC Condemns False Narratives on Loss of Officer

Author admin 0 97

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, expresses grief on the loss of one of its officers, Assistant Superintendent of the EFCC, ASE II Aminu Sahabi Salisu who was killed in cold blood while on a legitimate duty on January 17, 2025 by a suspected internet fraudster,  Joshua Chukwubueze Ikechukwu.

Additionally, the Commission views with great concern the irresponsible,  callous, inhuman and outrageous narratives being circulated on social media on the whys and wherefores of the fatal accident. It is heinous to reduce the death of a gallant officer who was carrying out patriotic and official duties to social media razzmatazz.

More worrisome is the fact that some faceless commentators are pitching their tents with an alleged criminal who unleashed terror on officers of the EFCC in their line of duty. There is no justification whatsoever to rationalise a murderous act. The milk of human kindness demands that a grieving…

post-image

In a significant development for Nigeria’s telecommunications industry, the Minister of Communications, Innovation, and Digital Economy, Dr. Bosun Tijani, has announced that telecom service tariffs are set to increase by 30 to 60 percent. This adjustment, far below the 100 percent hike initially demanded by mobile network operators (MNOs), aims to balance industry sustainability with consumer affordability.

During an interview on Channels TV, Dr. Tijani revealed that the new rates would see call charges rise from the current average of N11 per minute to approximately N18.33 per minute, if a 60 percent adjustment is adopted. SMS charges will increase from N4 to N6.67, while the cost of 1GB of data could climb from N1,000 to N1,667.

“The sector drives growth in our country. Allowing a 100 percent tariff increase would be harmful to citizens who heavily depend on telecom services,” Dr. Tijani stated, underscoring the government’s focus on protecting consumers while…
