Adegboyega Ojo

– BSc Hons in Computer Science (University of Lagos, Nigeria)
– PhD in Computer Science (University of Lagos, Nigeria)

Professor Ojo’s research is primarily in the area of digital government. He studies how digital and data technologies can be used to support innovation in government institutions and address societal challenges. He is keen on understanding the conditions and technical design requirements for the beneficial and ethical use of data-driven innovation, advanced analytics and artificial intelligence-based solutions in different public service and policy contexts.
