LAGOS GOVT ACCOUNTANTS TO HARNESS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE FOR ENHANCED SERVICE DELIVERY

In an era where technology continues to transform various sectors, Accountants within the employment of the Lagos State Government are taking proactive steps to integrate Artificial Intelligence (AI) into their operations as a cutting-edge tool needed to ensure the delivery of quality services to Lagosians.
This strategic move, according to the Honourable Speaker, Lagos State House Assembly (LAHA), Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa will help enhance the efficiency, accuracy, and overall quality of financial services provided to the residents of Lagos.
Obasa made these remarks recently while addressing participants at the 15th annual public lecture organised by the Lagos State Public Service Chapter of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria.
The Speaker, represented by the Chairman of the House of Assembly Committee on Finance, Hon. Femi Saheed, promised that LAHA will continue to make laws that will support transparency and innovation to move Lagos State to the right financial pathway.
The Chairman of ICAN’s Lagos State Public Service Chapter, Mrs. Musiat Adenike Akinola, FCA, said that the theme of the event, “The Emergence of Artificial Intelligence and the Economic Impact on Private Enterprise”, aligns with global digital evolution trends, enhancing the state’s potential in achieving the “Greater Lagos Rising” vision.
Akinola encouraged the attendees to leverage the lecture’s insights to further their professional endeavours and contribute to the state’s ongoing progress.
Also, the 15th Chairman of the Chapter, Akinsola Florence Titilayo, FCA, in her speech, acknowledged the support of Governor Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu towards the success of all the activities of the chapter and other distinguished personalities for greatly impacting the chapter’s activities and programmes.
She solicited more support in the area of sponsoring members of the Lagos State Public Service Chapter of the Association to the ICAN Annual Accountants Conferences, International Accountants Conferences, and training that will give them more exposure and, in turn, translate to more effective performance in the discharge of their various official assignments.
The event reaffirmed Lagos State’s commitment to embracing technological advancements and fostering a culture of excellence in public service and governance.
