ipNX Harps on AI, Infrastructure at IoT W’Africa

ipNX Nigeria highlighted its dedication to driving innovation and digital transformation at the 2026 IoT West Africa Conference and Exhibition in Lagos. The company's Chief Technology Architect, Oluwaseun Oluboyo, participated in a panel discussing how C-suite executives can lead digital transformation in Nigeria.

Oluboyo advised that effective digital transformation begins with a thorough understanding of customer needs and business challenges, rather than adopting technology for its own sake. He stressed the importance of data quality, operational readiness, and carefully planned workflows when implementing Artificial Intelligence (AI).

“

AI is not a magic bullet. AI will produce nonsense faster than any human can do, so your data quality is of critical importance.

"AI is not a magic bullet," Oluboyo stated. "AI will produce nonsense faster than any human can do, so your data quality is of critical importance." He further explained that AI systems need precise workflows, as they do not inherently know when to pause. Organizations must invest time in understanding their systems, mapping data accurately, and preparing their infrastructure before deploying AI solutions.

Your workflow has to be just right because AI also doesn’t know when to pause. Organisations must invest the time to understand their systems, map their data properly, and prepare their infrastructure before deployment.
