In a related effort, the National Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics (NCAIR), established by NITDA in 2020, serves as a hub for research and development in emerging technologies. Located in Abuja’s Wuye District, this state-of-the-art facility, which includes a modern digital fabrication laboratory (FabLab), is designed to advance the practical application of AI, robotics, drones, the Internet of Things (IoT), and other cutting-edge technologies in areas critical to Nigeria’s national interest. NCAIR’s mission aligns with the National Digital Economy Policy and Strategy (NDEPS) and focuses on fostering innovation-driven entrepreneurship (IDE), creating job opportunities, and contributing to national development. Through these initiatives, NITDA aims to transform the Nigerian digital economy and build a robust ecosystem for technological innovation.
