Rome Business School Unveils Landmark Report on Nigeria’s Digitalisation and AI Landscape

Rome Business School Unveils Landmark Report on Nigeria’s Digitalisation and AI Landscape

 

Nigeria’s digital economy is undergoing a revolutionary transformation, driven by the rapid adoption of digital technologies, artificial intelligence (AI), and government-backed initiatives aimed at fostering innovation. However, despite significant progress, challenges such as inadequate infrastructure, digital literacy gaps, and regulatory roadblocks continue to pose hurdles.

A new report by Rome Business School, a leading international business education institution, takes a deep dive into this evolving landscape, analyzing how digitalization is reshaping industries like finance, telecommunications, agriculture, and education. It also outlines critical obstacles that must be overcome to unlock Nigeria’s full digital potential.

According to Asunmo Olakunle, General Manager of Rome Business School Nigeria, digitalization is no longer a choice but a necessity for economic growth. “We are witnessing impressive transformations across key sectors. However, to fully capitalize on these opportunities, Nigeria must improve its digital infrastructure, bridge the skills gap, and establish clear regulatory frameworks,” he stated.

The report highlights how AI, blockchain, and cloud computing are becoming indispensable tools for businesses. In the financial sector, AI-driven solutions are now widely used for fraud detection, credit scoring, and customer service automation, with 32% of financial institutions leveraging these innovations to streamline operations and enhance security. Similarly, the agricultural sector is seeing a shift with the adoption of IoT solutions and mobile applications that enable farmers to monitor crop health, access larger markets, and reduce reliance on middlemen.

Professor Antonio Ragusa, Founder and Dean of Rome Business School, commended the private sector’s role in accelerating digital growth. “From fintech to agritech and e-commerce, businesses are leveraging AI and digital solutions to enhance efficiency, improve service delivery, and create new economic opportunities,” he said.

Despite these advancements, Nigeria’s digital transformation is not without obstacles. Infrastructure deficits, including inconsistent power supply and unreliable internet connectivity, continue to hinder widespread adoption, particularly in rural areas. Many businesses and individuals struggle with the affordability of digital tools, limiting their ability to embrace new technologies. Furthermore, concerns about data privacy, ethical AI usage, and regulatory uncertainty remain key areas that require urgent attention.

The government has been proactive in advancing digitalisation through initiatives like the National Digital Economy Policy and Strategy (2020–2030) and the 3MTT (Three Million Technical Talent) program, which aims to train three million technology professionals by 2030. These efforts are crucial for bridging the digital skills gap and preparing Nigeria’s workforce for the future.

With over 150 million internet users, Nigeria is poised to emerge as a leading digital economy in Africa. However, achieving this vision will require a coordinated effort between the government, private sector, and academia to invest in digital infrastructure, capacity-building programs, and well-defined regulations.

To further contribute to this effort, Rome Business School will release a series of industry-specific reports covering finance, agriculture, healthcare, and manufacturing. These reports will offer actionable insights for businesses, policymakers, and investors seeking to navigate Nigeria’s digital economy.

Beyond research, the institution is actively engaged in training programs, workshops, and professional certifications designed to equip individuals and businesses with the knowledge and skills necessary to thrive in the digital age.

“Our goal is not just to analyze trends but to empower Nigerian businesses and individuals with the knowledge and tools they need to succeed,” Olakunle concluded.

The full report is available on Rome Business School’s official website, offering valuable insights for industry leaders, entrepreneurs, and policymakers shaping Nigeria’s digital future.

Overuse of AI May Lead to Cognitive Decline and Skill Degradation, Experts Warn

Overuse of AI May Lead to Cognitive Decline and Skill Degradation, Experts Warn

 

As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly integrated into daily life, experts are raising concerns about the potential downsides of overreliance on AI-driven tools. While AI can enhance productivity, excessive dependence on it for tasks like writing, decision-making, and problem-solving may have unintended consequences.

Cognitive Decline and Skill Degradation

Analysts warn that constantly using AI instead of engaging in critical thinking and writing can lead to skill erosion. Just as muscles weaken without exercise, the human brain thrives on mental challenges. “The more you rely on AI to generate ideas and content, the less your brain is engaged, potentially leading to cognitive decline over time,” said a neuroscience researcher.

Some studies suggest that intellectual laziness—using AI for tasks one is capable of doing—can reduce neural activity. While AI learns and evolves from user input, the human brain, when underutilized, risks losing its sharpness.

Loss of Authenticity and Originality

Experts also caution that AI-generated content often lacks personal touch, creativity, and emotional depth. Writers who excessively use AI may find their style becoming robotic, generic, or uninspired.

Moreover, AI systems, though powerful, can generate misleading or biased information. Without human oversight and fact-checking, reliance on AI could lead to the spread of misinformation.

Privacy, Security, and Ethical Concerns

Privacy advocates warn that AI tools, especially those requiring user input, may store and analyze personal data, raising concerns over data security. Ethical issues, such as AI-generated deepfakes and misinformation, also pose risks when users blindly trust AI-generated outputs.

Finding a Balance

Technology experts recommend using AI as an enhancement rather than a replacement for human intelligence. “AI should be a tool to support learning and creativity, not a substitute for critical thinking,” said a digital ethics specialist.

As AI continues to advance, the key lies in striking a balance—leveraging AI for efficiency while ensuring that human intellect remains at the forefront.

GOOGLE INTRODUCES NEW WEST AFRICA DIRECTOR TO NITDA, ASSURES MORE COLLABORATION

GOOGLE INTRODUCES NEW WEST AFRICA DIRECTOR TO NITDA, ASSURES MORE COLLABORATION

 

The Google West Africa presented its new Director for the continent, Mr. Olumide Balogun to the Director General, National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), Kashifu Inuwa CCIE, as Tech Giant it promised to deepen the collaboration that exists between the two organisations.

Mr. Balogun who led other Google executives to the Agency’s Corporate Headquarters, Abuja, disclosed that the familiarisation visit to NITDA has become imperative because it would restate Google West Africa’s commitments to deepening the partnership.

He said, “I have been at Google for four years, and recently took over the West Africa Director lead role. And our coming here today is to identify the critical steps that we need to take to jointly actualise the Nigerian President’s initiative to drive 1 million digital jobs because Google cannot thrive in isolation.”

Mr. Balogun revealed that Google has been working on Africa Internet for over eight years. According to him, “In 2015, during our premier developer event, we announced that Google has shifted from being a mobile-first company to an AI-first company. So, we were quite amused with all the chat GPT conversations.”

While disclosing that Google is currently working on a document that would detail the impact of Artificial Intelligence in Africa which will be launched in the University of Johannesburg, South Africa in September, the Director is inviting the NITDA’s Director General, Kashifu Inuwa, to deliver keynote address at the event.

In his remarks, the NITDA boss maintained that he believes that they can create a million digital jobs if they work together to craft a strategy on how to achieve the target.

According to Inuwa, NITDA is positioning Nigeria for accelerated job creation in a digital economy. Saying, “We are looking at the Nigeria Startup Act, which identifies some initiatives such as the talent development that can enable job creation. Nigeria can position itself to bridge the gap because we have youthful population,” he said.

He noted that the government’s responsibility in the ecosystem is to intervene in terms of policies, regulations, and infrastructure where needed, the objectives of any regulation are to help create market, democratize access to services, protect consumers, enhance service delivery, and enable innovation.

“Basically, Regulation can be rule-based and non-rule based. Non-rule-based is what we advocated for. To allow the ecosystem players to self-regulate themselves, put the standard in place, and we can help to ensure new entrance comply to that standard because what we are after is to have a responsible and ethical view of platforms around the world,” he said.

Inuwa further disclosed that NITDA is changing people’s mindset about the perspective on government’s approach to regulation and policy, adding that the Agency is co-creating with the ecosystem in anything it does.Olumide Balogun - Director - West Africa - Google | LinkedIn

He maintained that Nigeria could position itself to bridge the gap in digital transformation because it has a youthful population. “In 2018, digitally transformed enterprise contributed 18.5% global GDP. It was projected to reach 53.3% this year, that is over 50% of the global GDP. The generative AI is going to add about 7 trillion US dollars,” he said.

While acknowledging that NITDA’s partnership with Google Developers Group has resulted in the training of 150,000 youths in Nigeria, Inuwa noted that, “Presently we have an initiative running here in Abuja at our National Center for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics (NCAIR), and we want to expand the same program to other states in collaboration with the GDG as well. We are looking at how we can build technology development zones in partnership with universities to promote smart manufacturing.”

“Similarly, we are also looking at how to establish the seed investment fund for all the startups to attract investment. Last year, over 626 billion was invested but only 3.5% came to Africa and if you look at our population, we can do more than that; these are some of the ideas we need stakeholders like you to come to work with us on,” he concluded.

ChatGPT: What Cybersecurity Dangers Lurk Behind this Impressive New Technology? (By Anna Collard)

ChatGPT: What Cybersecurity Dangers Lurk Behind this Impressive New Technology? (By Anna Collard)

It is now possible to use a publicly available artificial chatbot to generate a complete infection chain, possibly beginning with a spear phishing email written in entirely convincing, human-like language and eventually causing a complete takeover of a company’s computer systems.

Researchers at Checkpoint recently created such a plausible phishing email as a test. They only used ChatGPT, a chatbot that uses deep learning techniques to generate text and conversations that can convince basically anyone that it was written by a real person.

In reality, there are many potential cybersecurity dangers wrapped up in this impressive technology developed by OpenAI and currently available online for free.

Here are just a few of them:

Social engineering: ChatGPT’s powerful language model can be used to generate realistic and convincing phishing messages, making it easier for attackers to trick victims into providing sensitive information or downloading malware.

Scamming: The generation of text through ChatGPT’s language models allows attackers to create fake ads, listings and many other forms of scamming material.

Impersonation: ChatGPT can be used to create a convincing digital copy of an individual’s writing style, allowing attackers to impersonate their target in a text-based setting, such as in an email or text message.

Automation of attacks: ChatGPT can also be used to automate the creation of malicious messages and phishing emails making it possible for attackers to launch large-scale attacks more efficiently.

Spamming: The language model can be fine-tuned to produce large amounts of low-quality content, which can be used in a variety of contexts, including as spam comments on social media or in spam email campaigns.

All five points above are legit threats to companies and all internet users that will only become more prevalent as OpenAI continues to train its model.

If the list managed to convince you, the technology succeeded in its purpose, although in this instance not with malicious intent.

All the text from points one to five was actually written by ChatGPT with minimal tweaks for clarity. The tool is so powerful it can convincingly identify and word its own inherent dangers to cybersecurity.

However, there are mitigating steps individuals and companies can take, including new-school security awareness training. Cybercrime is moving at light speed. A few years ago, cybercriminals used to specialise in identity theft, but now they take over your organisation’s network, hack into your bank accounts, and steal tens or hundreds of thousands of rands.

An intelligent platform like ChatGPT may have been created with the best intentions, but it only adds to the burden on internet users to always stay vigilant, trust their instincts and always know the risks involved in clicking on any link or opening an attachment.



THE CHASE:AI CHATGPT & THE REST OF US NIGERIAN

THE CHASE:AI CHATGPT & THE REST OF US NIGERIAN

AI (Artificial Intelligence) a form of computing that allows the machine to take decision and learn from individuals to give a feedback is on the rise. In a simple terms AI can be defined as:the ability of a computer or a robot controlled by a computer to do tasks that are usually done by humans because they require human intelligence and discernment.

Now the leaders of this is CHATGTP(In caps for emphasis) this is an open source platform that can help you do a lot of things easily without you lifting a finger. A student used the platform to have an all A’s in her assignment. I typed a query on how to write an article and the platform brought out a fantastic article written for me on my chosen subject in few seconds. Well written more than human!

So as you can see, just like the way industrial revolution displaced many people in their jobs and also creates job, the way computer age displaced many people and trust me this 4th industrial revolution will displace many of us and I am scared of jobs like Journalism, editing, copywriting, proofreading, advertising , content creators etc ! AI will take over .

Many countries of the world are in the race to build a fantastic AI  platform today which can be incorporated into many things from autonomous driving to aviation , from medical to education, Google recently tried to launch their own platform (Sparrow) but where was a glitch and they lost billions of dollars but that doesn’t mean they have rested on their oars! Google don’t give up they will be back !

Chinese biggest tech firm Baidu will be launching their own version of ChatGTP by March this year ! Trust Chinese to always deliver on things like these. With this race of AI going on, the Africans are left behind !

With the elections coming up in few days time, Nigerians are contemplating to either vote a senile man that doesn’t understand the concept of building smart cities or the need to galvanise the youths to build robust solutions and creating a techhub around the nation. Nobody is talking that .

As the world is tilting towards 4th industrial revolution, just like other ages and revolutions before us , Nigeria is doing a catch-up game; a country that is trying to sort out the basic things and mundane things that should be overlooked such as energy, electricity, fuel, security and capacity building ! The country is still saddled with these basic things an indication that the rest of world will leave us behind!
