Chukwuemeka Afigbo’s Post

Agriculture plays a crucial role in Nigeria's economy (25% of the country's GDP in 2023), and technology can transform how we maximize this sector. One such innovation is soil monitoring technology, which predicts crop outcomes. During my courtesy visit to TD4PAI - an NGO and Internet of Things (IoT) hub - I had the opportunity to learn firsthand about their groundbreaking initiatives. I believe in home grown innovation; Enabling our Nigerian Digital Economy through Nigerian Enterprises. My belief got tested when on Monday I drove to Kuje, Abuja and listened as Dr Agu Collins Agu , the founder of TD4PAI IoT Hub, and his team present real-time data solutions aimed at enhancing agricultural productivity using IOT sensors and analytical dashboards they have built. Thank you Chukwuemeka Afigbo for calling my attention to this! The NIGERIAN COMMUNICATIONS SATELLITE LIMITED (NIGCOMSAT) team got to see other innovations like the Unity Board (AI/IoT STEAM Education Kit) and Udene Board (RFID/IoT DAQaaS Platform), which are versatile IoT devices facilitating solutions across sectors such as agriculture, smart cities, education, industrial automation, and more. Imagine the possibilities that exist when we combine these solutions with the connectivity of NIGCOMSAT Satellite to deliver smart solutions to various sectors irrespective of their location. I am particularly proud to see a revolution in farming practices by leveraging IoT technology for effective soil monitoring starting at home. TD4PAI’s commitment to inclusivity and community support is evident as they actively reach out to underrepresented groups, providing free digital skills training and industry exposure. In alliance with NIGCOMSAT, we aim to drive these technological advancements further and co-create a more prosperous future for Nigeria. #Innovation #digitaleconomy #Smartfarming #Agriculture
