How Government Fit Use AI : Four Actions Wey Go Build Transformative and Resilient Public Administration

Abstract

AI no be shortcut to reform government. If dem never first redesign institutions, build enough capacity, and set clear governance, using AI fit even make bureaucratic wahala worse. Bias, confusion, and lack of transparency go dey instead of improving performance or fairness. Whether AI go succeed for government na governance matter, no be just technical one. Di result no depend too much on how advanced the technology dey, but on how strong institutions be, how accountability systems dey work, how dem dey share power between government and vendors, and how well dem plan for resilience. We recommend four actions: make government redesign public services around real problems before dem deploy AI; invest for institutional capacity through training and cross-functional teams; rebalance power wit vendors through collective procurement and collaboration; and ground public- sector AI for one “Trust Stack” wey dem build on transparency, accountability, oversight, and resilience.
