 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.

SECURITY OFFICIALS EXAMINE A DAMAGED SECURITY FORCES' VEHICLE AT THE SITE OF A BOMB BLAST IN QUETTA, PAKISTAN. (PHOTO).


 Security officials examine a damaged security forces' vehicle at the site of a bomb blast in Quetta, Pakistan, Feb. 28, 2025. 


Police in northwestern Pakistan said Friday a suicide bomber detonated himself during afternoon prayers at the Darul Uloom Haqqania seminary, killing at least six worshipers and wounding more than a dozen others. 

Haqqania, with several thousand students, is in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province and is among South Asia's largest and most respected Islamic seminaries. The top leaders of Afghanistan’s Taliban also studied at the madrasa in the town of Akora Khattak.  


 

Seminary head Maulana Hamidul Haq was among those killed, and the death toll was expected to rise, according to local hospital officials. 

The provincial police chief, Zulfiqar Hameed, confirmed the casualties, saying an investigation into the bombing was underway. 


 

Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif condemned what he called "a cowardly and heinous act of terrorism,” according to a statement issued by his office. 

No group immediately claimed responsibility for the blast, but suspicions fell on a regional Islamic State group affiliate, the Islamic State-Khorasan, or IS-K.
