His service extends to policy advisory, where he is a Member of the Presidential Advisory Council on Industrial Relation.

The event is expected to bring together regulators, financial institutions, innovators, small business owners, and stakeholders to collectively reflect on strategies for navigating and optimizing Artificial Intelligence’s growing role in financial services delivery.
According to SUPERNEWS’s Publisher, Ngozi Onyeakusi, the conference is designed to foster awareness, deepen understanding, and enable stakeholders to leverage Artificial Intelligence to make financial services more accessible, convenient, cost-effective, and adaptable.
AI’s growing significance — with its projected $3.9 trillion in business value by 2022, up from $1.2 trillion in 2018 — underscores its potential to enable financial institutions to reach more customers while reducing operational costs and strengthening service delivery.
