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 technology compliance in workplaces across the country.

Ojulari made the call on Monday in Ilorin during an interview with newsmen as part of activities commemorating 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 Digitalization at Work.”

He said that there was need for every organisation to embrace technology in order 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 will help save time, boost efficiency, and promote safer working environments.

“Today is World Safety Day. At NSITF, we prioritise workers’ health and safety.

“We are calling on all organisations to embrace AI and digitalise their operations, not just for improved productivity but also for safety purposes.

“This is a technological age; be safety-conscious by aligning with AI and digitalisation at work,” he urged.

As part of the celebrations, staff members of the NSITF Ilorin branch held a public rally to raise awareness about occupational safety and the role of AI and digitalisation at work.

Supreme news reports that the rally took place along the Asa-Dam, Geri-Alimi, Saw Mill, and Irewolede areas of Ilorin and witnessed a massive turnout by NSITF staff.
