Nigeria faces enormous public service challenges from traffic congestion in high urbanized areas, to insecurity, healthcare delays, and inconsistent public planning. But with the right use of artificial intelligence AI and predictive modelling, the country can shift from reactive decision-making to proactive, data-driven governance.

The dataset covered Nigerian-style household structures: age, marital status, occupation, religion, commuting patterns, and more. Cleaning and modelling this data revealed just how powerful AI can be in anticipating real-world problems before they escalate.
