### AI overview

Nigeria's AI ambitions require representative local data alongside models and computing infrastructure. The article argues that underrepresented African genomic and clinical data can limit the reliability of precision-medicine tools, while gaps in census and health records constrain planning. It advocates building structured local datasets and stronger data collection.

### Source excerpt

Nigeria's AI ambitions depend on more than models and compute. Representative local data, secure infrastructure, and strong governance are equally essential.
