The Ondo South representative in the Senate, Jimoh Ibrahim, has revealed plans by President Bola Tinubu to tackle insecurity with the use of artificial intelligence, AI, by 2025.
Ibrahim, who is the chairman of the Senate Committee on Inter-Parliamentary Affairs, said this in an interview with Channels Television on Wednesday.
He made this statement while referring to the allocation of N4.91 trillion to defence and security in Tinubu’s budget proposal.
He described the coming year as a tough one for criminals, saying that the president plans to develop apps to track down bandits, kidnappers, and terrorists.
“He will use AI to assist security personnel in making life uncomfortable for them,” he said on Channels Television’s Politics Today.
DAILY POST reported that Tinubu has presented the N49.7tn budget proposal before a joint session of the National Assembly.
Security and defence, infrastructure, health, and education sectors receive high budgetary allocations.
