AI's Role in Education Discussed at Claiming Tomorrow Summit

The Claiming Tomorrow Summit took place on July 16, 2026, at the Mike Adenuga Centre in Ikoyi, Lagos, addressing the growing role of artificial intelligence (AI) in education and creativity. The event gathered industry leaders to discuss how technology can transform learning and unlock opportunities for the next generation.

Efayi Ezefuna, Chief Executive Officer of Nsibidi Fabl, reflected on the company's journey in introducing technology-driven learning in Nigerian schools over the past two years. He noted that while some schools initially viewed AI as a threat to the curriculum, many have embraced initiatives that yield tangible results.

Ezefuna emphasized that AI should be seen as a tool to enhance human creativity rather than replace it. David Izehuna, Chief Technology Officer of Nsibidi Fabl, highlighted AI's potential to bridge gaps in Nigeria's education system, particularly in addressing teacher shortages and personalizing learning experiences.

The summit underscored the necessity of investing in AI education to prepare youth for future careers.
