 NSITF WANTS DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION TO ALSO IMPACT ON WORKERS' SOCIAL PROTECTION IN AFRICA The Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund has urged African businesses adopting Artificial Intelligence (AI) to link digital transformation directly with worker welfare and social protection. Speaking at the launch of a free Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) AI Master Training Programme at the UN House in Abuja, NSITF Managing Director, Oluwaseun Faleye, emphasized that technology alone cannot guarantee business resilience if workforce safety is neglected. The training programme, spearheaded by the ECOWAS Small Business Coalition alongside InnoPower LLC and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), aims to equip regional Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) with AI skills for production, marketing, and cross-border trade.
