The event which held at Summit University in Offa, Kwara State, brought together local stakeholders, academicians and research partners under the Academic Immersion Programme (AIP) of the AI4FS project.
Engr. Goke Adeyemi, CEO of OptiEdge Nigeria Limited, served as the guest facilitator, delivering a keynote address on the Smart Camera System for Aquaculture.
He provided insights into the use of IP cameras, their types, and applications in agriculture, emphasizing the transformative impact of AI on agriculture.
