Dr Ogbonnaya Onu, Minister of Science and Technology, says the Federal Government plans to establish an agency that would be in charge of artificial intelligence and robotics.

He made this disclosure on Monday in Abuja when the Nigeria Science Academy visited him in his office, to officially invite the Ministry to their forthcoming programmes to boost the sector.that Artificial Intelligence is a general term that implies the use of a computer to model, including robotics, natural language processing, computer vision and it is sometimes called machine intelligence.

“We are very committed to ensuring that we have at least one research institute, centre or Agency that will concentrate on artificial intelligence and robotics,” he said. He expressed the hope that the private sector would show interest and at the end, it would be commercialised, saying that positive ideas could be translated to products and services available in the market place.

Oga Ade, how far with the pencils you talked about in your first stint? Is Nigeria now producing pencils now?

We are still waiting for your pencil...

But half of you here running mouth .. supports the electric car narratives of benmurraybruce ... right 😂😂😂

You have not been able to manage any simple projects, no good roads, no electricity, no good hospitals, young professionals are exodusing for better life, mentally poor and lazy leadership etc.., you're talking about artificial intelligence. Ensure to get a standby gen for that

Day dreaming.

How can you talk Robotics when you do not have electricity, functional railways and terrible network coverage. Another distraction with elephant projects as conduits to steal away from the Commonwealth.

Shhhh.... don't say it loud, before the rest of the world thinks we are not serious.

p

How far the pencil you promised us

They need to start with agency for natural intelligence first! Can I hear you say improve the school system and standards for it's citizens? Just because your President did not go to school, don't punish innocent children by keeping them out of school.FreeBiafra 🕊

Another agency to sink billions of dollars and steal for personal use by politicians. These are the fake schemes they come up with to steal money from the country for their own personal interest.

Unknown to most of you, you have been responding to Computer Generated tweets or chats no matter which platform unless you stick to your follow follow masters with SUGGESTIVE opinions. Talking of mumu know all ppl.

IA IS the present, no longer the future, everyone is responding like it's a taboo, you're going late and you don't want a roadmap? No wonder!. Constructive criticism please, if you wish ur country well. DON'T condemn if you can't provide a better practical solution.

Clowns.

We play too much in this country...😂😂😂

Agency for artificial intelligence, robotics ? To what end? Oga Onu, if you create this agency with no set goal, your failure will be raised to power (3). Na your pencil I take type dis one sha!

This is from a govt that has shown more interest in cattle than technological advancement. I bet a more than 10:1 funding ratio in favour of RUGA (or whatever they're calling it now).

What about our pencils sir?

Story story...where's the data? No national ID, no central database for anything and you are leap frogging to AI. White elephant projects is what we are good at.

Abeg eee, start from what is seen and can be touched. Unu don feed Nigerians finish?

What a DUST

His name is onu, look at the picture again 🔥

Why do we like so much bureaucracy. Every small thing bureaucracy

Haaaa.... awon people yii, ya werey sha..

Ogbonna why not keep quiet if you have nothing to say?

VintageAdvocate 😂😂😂

though this is where the world is going but fix the necessary first.. foolish government

Mtcheeeeeew

Don't just know wia all these mumu empty leaders waka come from,...... Watch out for part 2 of artificial intelligence.

Good luck

People wa never use the sense wa God give them wan explore Artificial intelligence.

These man will surprise all of you criticizing him,Robotic pencils go soon enter market 😂, order while stocks last!

What an ambitiously stupid statement he is back again. Oh you think we've forgotten your previous statement and your coming to make another loud mouthed statement their certain things to be fixed before we talk of AI oga so stop the deception biko

Baba buruku onirannu mumu fulani slave

Mr Pencil don come again oo

Being rhetorical, as a propaganda tool has never been a measure of good governance. The frequent insultive disposition of our political leaders is suggestive & an aberration to our collective intelligence. It further confirmed their naiveness & hypocrisy.

Where is our pencil factory first

Where is the pencil Nigeria produced. Ewu abakaliki

Have you started using innosonvehicles for your official duties as you promised?

Where is the pencil first?

We will gather you all and burn them to ash,the time is coming

Lol

The last time I heard his name, he talked about pencils. Not one pencil has surfaced. Listen to him at your own risk.

Can we now produce pencil in Nigeria Sir?

And that's one way Nigerian Money is about to be EMBEZZLED..

Abeg do come Germany come collect better beating jaare... Weyrey

Ike gwụrụ ndị a. When our computer labs and universities can't be given steady internet, or even reliable 3G. We already have institutions that shoukd simply be equipped. We have the humans to do this, BUT......

Pencil factory kwanu?

I guess a new brand of weed got into town... 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Again and again madness. Who will stop all this madness for us?

I smell weed

Corruption fighting back. Yeye

This Nigeria sef, a ti ma mbe ju 😂😂😂

To be headed by dumb people employed by connectionZ

I don't know what these people smoke...it's really really bad. To think he must be paying advisers and assistant and this is all they could come up with.

AI/ROBOTICS will be powered with rice from Kano

🤣 'agency' to siphon more money. Jokers

Disruptive Budget padding 4.0 loading 😄

Uncle Ogbonna shey I told u not to touch the leaves on top of the kitchen cabinet😩 now see what you've done to urself.

The man who could not produce pencils

babanla nonsense

Oga where is the pencil you promised to produce since 2015? Now you want to do robotics? 🤣🤣

LOL. Empty words. Y'all fooling yourselves. Can Buhari even pronounce Artificial Intelligence? Do you people truly know what that means..?

Robbincrusoe bro it's like these guys in government are smoking different kind of weed... Cus even guys i know that take serious stuffs haven't gotten to this level. Is it not these same people that talked about manufacturing pencils one time? Pencil we did not see

So pathetic ... Jumping A-Y to move to Z... Ova ooo

Robotics FIRE, light dey? 🤡

This is one main reason why I hate weed. Tuetue

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Ogbonnaya Onu needs to take my advice and stop talking to the press.

This one is looking for his own white elephant project so he can siphon more money.... Nwokem SIDDON one place...🙄🙄🙄

Fadalawd!! Where do these people get this their strong weed from?

Pencil Minister is a clown😂😂

I see such as laughable. We are trying to jump when we've not crawled. Pls we can talk about this but not now. We are not done with the basics yet. Nigeria

Can we just have steady electricity first 🙄

This should not be an agency, ir should be a ministry seconding all IT staff to other ministries and agency. This will make governance open and efficient.

To be headed by educated ILLITERATE who can't operate computer! Keep deceiving yourselves.

Nigerians need people working. With unlimited untrained work force, we need pple working on the roads, picking garbage, unclogging drainage, gutters, & more farmers. Not yeye robotics. Dr. Onu, 'a genius', may power his Robotics with famed Ijebu witches. 4kin copycats! Nigeria

Give us constant light and good roads first Oga Robotics.

In a country with millions without jobs, is Robotics the way out? Is Robotics to guide against ogbologbo erosion, fix our roads, manage traffic, light rural areas, provide street lights, manage mosquitoes infestation and create jobs? OgbonnayaOnuNigeriarobotics Nigerians

One on one... eege

Laugh want to kee me here o.....😏😏😏😏 jokers.

Fairy tales...

This is a way o steal money. Minister, how are u using technology to fix our roads, manage erosion, increase agric productivity, Lagos traffic, cure hunger and power Nigeria awful unreliable electricity? How is Robotics to work without electricity? Is it by Ohaozora witchcraft?

Somebody should pls take this man to yaba left.

LOPE_64

Chop money enterprise just warming up.

Only God can save us from these idiots

show me the pencils sir, then we could talk

Joke of the year 😂

A clown at the helm

Pass me the weed bro

This is a progression. 1st four years, it was a pencil factory. Now, it's an agency for AI & robotics. Clap for yourself sir. Oniranu agbalagba 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

We know it is a way to loot our money..but okay

Another agency? How many agency do we need to meet our aspirations?

Na wa o, we have moved from pencil making to artificial intelligence. The speed is faster than the speed of light

It is easy to say until you know the amount of money it takes to build an A.I and Robotics Industry.

Another cashing out.. 😂 😂 😂 Chai dis government sha..

What about the pencil factory sir?

And them nor still do am😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Zoo is zoo indeed

Mr. Pencil wee you keep quiet 🤫?

😂😂😂😂

Egbekegbe APC morrons must make noise so that Baba will know they are earning their pay. Mchwww 😤

Clowns, one and all

AjuriNgelale Where is the pencil industry he promised

Lets stop deceiving ourselves pls. Stop it!

Hilarious.. 'To a man who has a Hammer, every problem is a Nail' With tech (AI) all our problems will be solved in one full scoop🤣🤣🤣. A buffoon indeed😅

Channel that energy to agriculture. A hungry man cannot think well.

Why can't they develop course program for AI in our institutions or better still establish an institution of AI...?

When for 50+ years you've discovered oil you cannot produce Camphor from its bi product. Ewu guinea fowl.

Story

Some ministers are better muted for four years than disturb the air space.

Have they started producing pencils as was promised in 2015? Shameless people.

You have finished with pencil now abi

😂😂😂😂😂Joke of the decade ...Pls they should solve light problem first before AI. If they don't know AI needs uninterrupted power supply to function effectively..

My ribs. What dumbfuckery 😂😂😂😂

This clown is heading to Afghanistan

Una never fit get stable light una Dey talk about robots. It’s obvious there is a general mental disorder amongst apc members.

So that admin has another avenue to steal public funds? Ok

Scammmmmm.... Another way of robbing the country. You can't manage ordinary database. NIMC can't provide Permanent National IDs after 4years of registration. Shame to all...🖕you all..

somebody go just open mouth begin talk watin he nor know. anyway, this is Nigeria - talks to impress is allowed by the goat head politicians.

There's no bottom. The barrel is bottomless and that's where we are.

We have schools,hospitals,roads,police stations that need support and you are doing AI Thunder fire all of una Nonsense

Yeye man. What about the pencil manufacturing company he promised us in 2015?

This mad man has started again

Easier said than done

Another avenue to reap the economy dry,where is the power to run robotics?

What those this man knows he is saying

the job a Human Being is suppose to do? Its sad. Even though I know we want to advance with the technological thread, but we need to realize that we're a third world country. Still at the developing state. Let's just rethink and invest more on our Human Capital. Thank you.✌💯

Dear Federal Government of Nigeria. This looks like a step in the right direction but it's not. Our human resources have not been well managed not to talk about artificial. We're still far from that. A lot of People are jobless and idle, and we're putting up robotics to do

Is this the thinking now? Damn....why? We are yet to see how Nigcom Sat will better calls n internet in Nig etc and others, we want to invest in AI? SMH

Here we go again...

Lmaooo We can't even make matchbox.
