Dr. Chinasa Okolo, founder of Technecultura, will join a high-level panel at Build 2026 in Abuja, Nigeria (Oct 21–22), discussing Nigeria's National AI Strategy and what effective oversight requires.
Hosted by the Nigeria AI Collective under the Federal Ministry of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, the conference tackles 'Building Africa's Shared Compute and AI Infrastructure' — mapping investment, governance, and policy roadmaps for locally owned compute amid severe shortfalls in power, connectivity, bandwidth, and talent.
