For this months episode I spoke with Dr. Olubayo Adekanmbi, founder and CEO of Data Science Nigeria and Co-founder of EqualyzAI. We spoke about the role his childhood adventures and curiosity-driven experiements played in his path to becoming a researcher, the realization that led to the creation of Data Science Nigeria – an organization dedicated to democratising access to AI and data science education to develop talent that will drive innovation across Africa and the world at large.
Our conversation explores the importance of a Nigerian-centric data science ecosystem and the collaborative efforts needed to drive socioeconomic development in Nigeria.
I hope you enjoy this episode!
