In her lead paper, titled "Engineering and Technology: Solutions for National Security, Economic and Infrastructural Development," Prof. Olubunmi Mokuolu highlighted the devastating impact of insecurity, noting that over 2.2 million Nigerians were displaced in 2024 due to activities of Boko Haram and other illegal groups.

Prof. Mokuolu advocated for the integration of innovative technologies, including drone surveillance, AI-powered security systems, renewable energy, smart infrastructure, and digital transformation, as critical tools to address national security, economic growth, and infrastructural deficits.

She stressed that these advancements could unlock Nigeria's potential and foster sustainable development.

The conference featured various paper presentations and discussions focused on harnessing engineering and technology to tackle Nigeria's challenges.

The event underscores Kwara State Polytechnic dedication to driving innovation and fostering collaborative solutions for national progress.
