Abuja: TECHzMagazine – News Desk
The National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) has formally urged the Nigerian Army to integrate data management and artificial intelligence (AI) into its core operations to transition toward modern warfare.
Speaking at the 4th Data Management and Record-Keeping Seminar in Abuja, NITDA Director-General Kashifu Inuwa Abdullahi emphasized shifting from traditional administration to utilizing data as a strategic asset for actionable battlefield intelligence.
This modernization push includes implementing AI-driven analytics for real-time frontline insights, adopting automated surveillance systems like the NiDAR AI platform, and partnering with local defense firms to build indigenous drone infrastructure, ultimately securing Nigeria’s national digital sovereignty and reducing reliance on foreign tech.
