The National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) has signed memoranda of understanding with two Canadian technology companies, Goose FL and Fireflies AI, in Toronto.
The agreements form part of Nigeria’s efforts to secure international partnerships for artificial intelligence infrastructure and financial inclusion technology.
The MoUs, signed in the presence of NITDA Director-General Kashifu Inuwa Abdullahi, focus on technology transfer, local AI capacity building, and the development of solutions targeted at underserved communities. The partnerships are expected to help reduce Nigeria’s dependence on foreign technology while expanding the digital economy.
This development aligns with the country’s broader strategy of promoting digital skills programmes and working towards a $1 trillion economy by 2030 through a combination of global partnerships and indigenous innovation.
The collaboration with Goose FL and Fireflies AI is expected to support the growth of artificial intelligence applications and financial technology solutions that can benefit more Nigerians, particularly those in underserved areas.
