ipNX Nigeria made a strong impression at the 2026 IoT West Africa Conference and Exhibition, held at the Landmark Centre in Victoria Island, Lagos, by reaffirming its commitment to drive innovation and digital change. The company’s Chief Technology Architect, Oluwaseun Oluboyo, participated in a high‑level boardroom dialogue titled “Tech Transformation: A Masterclass to Enable the C‑Suite to Lead Digital Transformation in Nigeria.” He argued that genuine digital transformation begins with a sharp focus on customer needs and business challenges, rather than merely chasing the latest technology.

As artificial intelligence sweeps across industries, Oluboyo offered a reality check. “AI is not a magic bullet. AI will produce nonsense faster than any human can do, so your data quality is of critical importance,” he said. He emphasized that organizations must get their workflows right because AI does not know when to stop. “Your workflow has to be just right because AI also doesn’t know when to pause. Organizations must invest the time to understand their systems, map their data properly, and prepare their infrastructure before deployment,” Oluboyo added.
