Michael Egboh, the Country Director of the Chemonics Global Health Supply Chain-Procurement and Supply Management (GHSC-PSM) Project in Nigeria, has called on the Nigerian government to prioritise investments in robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) as a pathway to accelerating national development.
The international development professional and public health advocate spoke on Monday in Abuja at the 2025 annual National Management Conference of the Nigerian Institute of Management (Chartered) with the theme: ‘Leveraging emerging technologies to drive innovation, creativity and productivity’.
The conference, which drew stakeholders from across the country, is expected to generate strategies and recommendations that will be shared with the government and decision-makers as part of efforts to build a technologically viable Nigeria.
Egboh, the keynote speaker, stressed that the future of global economies is shaped by technological innovation, and Nigeria must not be left behind in harnessing these advancements for growth.
According to him, embracing robotics and AI will not only transform productivity across various sectors but also position the country as a competitive player in the global digital economy.
