The Ilorin Branch Manager of the Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund (NSITF), Mr. Armstrong Ojulari, has called for the adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and greater technological compliance across workplaces in Nigeria.
Ojulari made the call on Monday in Ilorin during an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) as part of activities marking the 2025 World Day for Safety and Health at Work.
The theme for the 2025 celebration is: “Revolutionising Health and Safety: The Role of AI and Digitalisation at Work.”
He stressed the importance of organisations embracing technology to remain relevant and aligned with global trends.
“With the rapid pace of technological advancement, organisations must adopt AI to enhance productivity and workplace safety,” Ojulari said.
According to him, AI can help save time, boost efficiency, and promote safer working environments.
“Today is World Safety Day. At NSITF, we prioritise workers’ health and safety.
“We urge all organisations to embrace AI and digitalise their operations, not only to improve productivity but also to ensure safer workplaces.
“This is a technological age—be safety-conscious by integrating AI and digital solutions into your work processes,” he said.
As part of the celebrations, staff of the NSITF Ilorin Branch organised a public rally to raise awareness about occupational safety and the role of AI and digitalisation in enhancing workplace health and safety.
NAN reports that the rally covered Asa-Dam, Geri-Alimi, Saw Mill, and Irewolede areas of Ilorin and witnessed a large turnout of NSITF staff.
