Nigeria AI Collective

The Nigeria AI Collective is a pioneering community of practice dedicated to ensuring that AI development and adoption in Nigeria are safe, ethical, and impactful.

Initiated by the Federal Ministry of Communications, Innovation & Digital Economy, the Collective operates within an enabling policy environment that fosters responsible AI governance and innovation.

Supported by Luminate, Ford Foundation, and AI Collaborative, the Collective is led by Data Science Nigeria, Lagos Business School, and the Centre for Journalism, Innovation & Development, and is coordinated by the Policy Innovation Centre.

Our mission is to drive ethical AI governance, innovation, and capacity building—empowering Nigeria to shape the future of AI both locally and globally. Through strategic collaboration across civil society, academia, and the AI ecosystem, we champion AI for the public good, policy development, and responsible adoption.
