Senator Jimoh Ibrahim of Ondo South claims President Bola Tinubu will employ artificial intelligence (AI) to address the country’s security concerns.
Ibrahim stated on Wednesday during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today.
The senator stated that the President Tinubu has set aside N5 trillion for security because he intends to use technology in the fight against robbers and militants.
He said:
“Give it to President Tinubu, whether you like him or not, I am not his spokesman, the security index has improved.”
“Before I came on, I checked the security index of Nigeria from the global system. No city or LG is flying Boko Haram flag as of today.
“I am security man, he is going to spend more – he wants to bring in technology to solve the problem of security as opposed to using manpower and that engagement would cost him money.
“He is likely to develop an app that police, army would use – 2025 will be the worst year for criminals. He will use AI, distil it to security personnel to make your life comfortable.
“If he is able to do that with N5 trillion, what is the distilment going to lead to?”
Ibrahim stated that Nigerians can expect increased revenue as the country’s security situation improves.
