The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on the Labour Market in Nigeria: A Government Policy Approach

Nwabuatu Emmanuel Nnajiubah

Abstract

This paper examines the dual impact of AI on Nigeria's labour market, highlighting its potential to drive economic growth while posing risks of job displacement and socio-economic inequality. Adoption in sectors like finance and agriculture offers efficiency gains, but automation threatens low-skilled jobs. The study identifies critical challenges, including Nigeria's high unemployment, low digital literacy, and insufficient infrastructure. It advocates for targeted policy interventions, including AI-focused education, vocational training, and public-private partnerships to ensure inclusive benefits.
