The announcement was made by the Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy,\u00a0 Bosun Tijani, who revealed that the initiative will provide shared national computing infrastructure hosted by Galaxy Backbone\u00a0 and supported by the Bill &#038; Melinda Gates Foundation.<\/p>\n<p>The establishment of a national shared compute infrastructure is intended to address one of the most significant challenges facing artificial intelligence development globally: limited access to computing resources. By making computing power available through shared national infrastructure, the government aims to reduce barriers for researchers, startups, academic institutions, and public agencies, enabling them to develop and deploy advanced AI solutions within Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>The Nigeria AI Scaling Hub serves as a collaborative platform that brings together innovators, researchers, startups, government agencies, universities, and development partners. The initiative seeks to provide the infrastructure, partnerships, and technical support required to move successful AI projects from pilot stages to large-scale implementation. In addition to expanding access to computing resources, the hub is expected to strengthen collaboration within the country\u2019s AI ecosystem and support solutions that address national development priorities.<\/p>\n<p>The launch of the hub also marks the beginning of the Scaling AI for Development (SAID) Challenge, an initiative designed to&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/techafricanews.com\/2026\/06\/29\/nigeria-launches-ai-scaling-hub-to-accelerate-artificial-intelligence-development\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nigeria Launches AI Scaling Hub to Accelerate Artificial Intelligence Development https:\/\/techafricanews.com\/2026\/06\/29\/nigeria-launches-ai-scaling-hub-to-accelerate-artificial-intelligence-development\/ Publish Date: 2026-06-29 04:35:00&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":283519,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/techafricanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/nigeria-83.png","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-283518","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/283518"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=283518"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/283518\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":283520,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/283518\/revisions\/283520"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/283519"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=283518"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=283518"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=283518"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
