Ondo State Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa called on young people in the state to embrace artificial intelligence and innovation as a way to participate in the emerging digital economy.

In his remarks, Aiyedatiwa highlighted the growing importance of technology-driven sectors and urged the next generation to develop the skills needed to thrive in these fields.

He noted that artificial intelligence is increasingly shaping business, education and public services, and that those who acquire relevant knowledge and experience will be better positioned to benefit from new opportunities.

The governor’s message comes amid a broader push across Nigeria to expand the digital economy, which has seen rapid growth in recent years and offers significant potential for job creation and economic diversification.

By encouraging youths to engage with AI and related technologies, Aiyedatiwa aims to help build a workforce that can drive innovation and support the state’s development goals.
