Gluwa Teams up With Nigerian Government for Massive AI Training Initiative

As a researcher with a strong focus on technological advancements and their impact on developing economies, I am thrilled to see Gluwa’s ambitious initiative to train 1,000 Nigerian youths annually in artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, and other cutting-edge technologies. Having witnessed the potential of technology to transform lives and economies, I believe this program is a significant step towards preparing the next generation of innovators and contributing to Nigeria’s economic progress.


Gluwas forthcoming educational initiative will unveil advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence and blockchain to a fresh wave of Nigerian learners. This pioneering endeavor commences in partnership with Kashim Shettima, the esteemed vice president of Nigeria.

As an analyst, I’d rephrase it as follows: In Dutse, the state capital of Jigawa, a fresh initiative is being launched, which will bring on board 1,000 local youths each year. The aim is to expose them to cutting-edge technological advancements and inspire the next generation of innovators.

At the unveiling of the Initiative in Yakubu Gowon’s NYSC Orientation Camp, the Vice President urged every Nigerian youngster to adopt this significant undertaking that plays a crucial role in advancing our country’s economic growth.

He also announced ambitious plans to scale the program in new locations and directions:

“Nationwide, we’re launching this project to establish a countrywide network of tech centers. These hubs aim to fuel Nigeria’s economic advancement for the long term through technology.”

The vice president recognized and praised Gluwa for their significant role in Nigeria’s financial advancement, along with their collaboration with Aella Microfinance Bank.
