As artificial intelligence continues to disrupt the workforce globally, the federal government and the National Universities Commission (NUC), have been advised to overhaul and delete academic courses across tertiary institutions overtaken by artificial intelligence(AI) in today’s labour market. This is as he stressed the need for provision of funding for AI enabled education and policy for the country.
A professor of Labour Economics, Prof. Olukemi Iyabode Lawanson, stated these while delivering the 7th Professorial inaugural lecture series of the 2024/2025 academic session of the University of Lagos (UNILAG).
Speaking on a theme, ‘To Everything There Is A Season: The Perspectives of a Labour Economist’, Lawanson said the government and the NUC must ensure relevant courses in today’s labour market are approved for Nigerian students.
