The commissioner for innovation, science and technology, Hon. Olatunbosun Alake, disclosed this at the opening ceremony of the University of Lagos 2024 Data Science School.

Delivering the keynote address titled “Developing Skills for the Future: Data Science and Training,” he commended UNILAG for its initiative and underscored the crucial role of Data Science in driving innovative city initiatives and sustainable development in Lagos.

The commissioner, speaking through the coordinator of Lagos State Research and Innovation Council (LASRIC), Mr Alani Lateef, stressed the importance of training, noting that it is a huge reason why the state is committed to programmes of this kind.

Lagos is one of the largest megacities in the world, and he revealed that efforts are underway to make it a smart city.
