The Airtel Nigeria team and leaders from the Nigerian government attended the launch of the Airtel AI Spam Alert Service.

Airtel Nigeria has launched an artificial intelligence (AI) spam detection tool for customers to combat the plague of spam messages.

Dr. Bosun Tijani, minister of communications, innovation, and digital economy, and Dr. Aminu Maida, executive vice chairman of the Nigerian Communications Commission, both commended the launch.
