 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.

 AU chief demands 'acknowledgement of crimes, reparatory justice' from former colonial powers


The chairperson of the African Union Commission Mahmoud Ali Youssouf has reiterated calls for "reparatory justice", demanding that former colonial powers "acknowledge historic crimes."


Speaking at a summit bringing together African nations, Caribbean states, and the global African diaspora in Ethiopia's capital Addis Ababa on Sunday, Youssouf further demanded "meaningful reparations" for previously colonised countries.


Additionally, the AU Commission chief demanded that former colonial rulers should "dismantle structural and systemic injustice" on Africa and the Caribbean communities, TRT Afrika reported.


"The African Union stands proudly and firmly with our Caribbean brothers and sisters in every steps towards reparatory justice and true liberation," he said.


Africa-Caribbean states' cooperation


The second Africa-Caribbean Community (CARICOM) summit was organised to "strengthen unity, deepen integration, and jointly pursue reparations and reparatory justice through a comprehensive transcontinental partnership framework," the AU said.


The continental body added that: "The second CARICOM summit is expected to further enhance the growing interlinkage between Africa and the people of African descent."


The two-day summit, attended by heads of state and government, was held on September 6 and 7. The first such summit was held in September 2021.
