However, Nigeria\u2019s situation differs from both in some important ways.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On exposure to AI, Nigeria generally faces a lower risk than advanced economies. The IMF\u2019s global assessment estimates AI exposure at around 26% across low income economies, a category that includes much of Sub Saharan Africa. In comparison, exposure stands at roughly 60% in the U.S., UK, and other advanced economies.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This difference is largely due to the structure of the Nigerian economy. A much larger share of Nigeria\u2019s workforce works in agriculture and the informal sector. These jobs are generally harder to automate than office based roles that rely heavily on computers and digital tools.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, slower AI adoption in Nigeria does not necessarily mean less disruption. Instead, it is likely to mean that the disruption happens more gradually. Nigeria\u2019s public service is also particularly vulnerable because it is the country\u2019s largest single employer and many of its roles involve routine, repetitive, paper based, or process driven work.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the same time, the African Development Bank and other regional analyses have raised a related concern. The bigger issue may not be jobs disappearing altogether, but the economy failing to create new jobs quickly enough.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Youth unemployment across Africa already stands above 12%.
