Jubril Gawat, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s Senior Special Assistant on New Media, made this announcement in a statement that he shared on his X account on Tuesday.
The three-day event’s theme was “Unlocking AI Powered Translation: Enhancing Access to Lagos State Laws in indigenous languages,” according to the release.
“With a view to boosting public order and safety, operational efficiency, and improved accessibility and scalability of Lagos State Laws,” according to Gawat, the workshop was held.
With many residents speaking it fluently, Lagos State’s diverse populace shares a common language: Yoruba. A stakeholder engagement session on the proposed innovation bill was hosted in June by the Lagos State Ministry of Innovation, Science, and Technology.
The legislation aims to stimulate innovation and create a conducive atmosphere for the state’s technical progress.
At a June event, Olatubosun Alake, the Commissioner for Innovation, Science, and Technology, stated, “It is imperative to create a strong policy framework that promotes ongoing innovation investment and propels Lagos to the forefront of the digital revolution.”
This is because it has the potential to either promote or inhibit ongoing governmental investment in innovation. This involvement is consistent with advancing a framework for innovation policy.
