Nigeria's emergence as the leading African country in the 2026 @GlobalIndexRAI is an important affirmation of our belief that Africa must not only participate in the AI revolution but also help shape how these technologies are governed and deployed globally. Moving up 42 places to rank 38th globally and 1st in Africa reflects the deliberate work being done to build an AI ecosystem that is inclusive, responsible, and aligned with our development priorities. It is also encouraging to see Nigeria recognised as a global "Bright Spot" for advancing AI literacy, with initiatives such as our National AI Strategy (NAIS) and the 3 Million Technical Talent programme receiving international recognition.

President @officialABAT's vision of building a $1 trillion economy powered by innovation, productivity, and inclusive growth.
