In a significant move to advance aquaculture in Nigeria, the Artificial Intelligence for Women in Aquaculture (AI4WA) project funded by Gender for Responsible Artificial Intelligence Networks (GRAIN) project, in collaboration with Artificial Intelligence for Females in STEM (AI4FS) also funded by Royal Academy of Engineering (RAENG), United Kingdom and Optiedge Technology, Lagos organized a training session on smart camera technology deployment for increased production in aquaculture. The event, 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.

The positive feedback from participants underscores the success of the training, highlighting the potential of smart cameras to revolutionize agricultural practices. Toke Farms and Household in Fish Farming in Nigeria were presented with an IP camera, symbolizing AI4FS's commitment to empowering local farmers.

Other stakeholders at the event include representatives of various fish farming organisations, research fellows and industrial partners from various organisations.
