 LASEMA TRAINS OFFICERS ON THE USE OF AI TO GET REAL-TIME OPERATIONAL REPORTS IN RESPONSE ACTIVITIES

In line with the commitment of the Babajide Sanwo-Olu administration to innovation, professionalism and the continuous modernisation of emergency management in Lagos State, the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency has organised a one-day training for its officers on Introduction to Artificial Intelligence in Emergency Response.

The training, which was held on Monday, 2nd November, 2026, at the LCCI, was aimed at equipping staff with basic knowledge of Artificial Intelligence and how it can be deployed to improve efficiency, speed and accuracy in emergency management operations across the State.

The facilitator, Mr. Amao Oluseyi Bamidele, delivered an insightful session in which he explained the concept of Artificial Intelligence, differentiating it from Human Intelligence and highlighting how AI simulates human reasoning to perform tasks. He outlined the key objectives of AI, emphasising its usefulness in enhancing decision-making, speed and accuracy in emergency response.

The facilitator also introduced participants to various AI tools and explained the differences between them, including tools for writing, image generation, data analysis and communication. He further demonstrated how AI can be applied in LASEMA's daily activities such as writing reports, documentation, incident scene analysis and public communication.

The session also covered how to write effective prompts, including text prompts and image prompts, to obtain accurate and relevant results from AI tools, a skill that will enable officers to generate real-time operational reports during response activities and improve information flow to the public and relevant stakeholders.

The training was very interactive, educational, and impactful, as staff were enlightened on how to leverage AI tools to improve productivity, professionalism and response time in emergency management. The session ended with a question-and-answer segment where staff clarified areas of concern.

LASEMA reassures residents of Lagos State of its continued commitment to capacity building and the adoption of modern technology to ensure prompt, efficient and life-saving emergency response at all times. Members of the public are encouraged to report any emergency through the State toll-free lines 767 and 112.
