Abuja, Nigeria — July 2025
The Glorious Wealth Fund (GWF) has announced a series of strategic partnerships with leading artificial intelligence (AI) research institutions and data analytics laboratories across Nigeria, Europe, and the United States, marking a major step in the nation’s financial technology evolution.
Developed under the supervision of the Securities and Exchange Commission of Nigeria (SEC Nigeria) and guided by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), these collaborations will enhance the Fund’s AI-driven trading and risk management systems — enabling faster, smarter, and more transparent investment operations for citizens and institutions alike.
According to Prof. Chuka Obianuju Okafor, Chief Strategic Advisor to GWF, this initiative “cements Nigeria’s position as a continental leader in AI-integrated financial systems.”
“We are not just applying technology; we are building the infrastructure for an intelligent financial future,” he explained. “Our partnerships ensure that every Nigerian investor benefits from world-class innovation within a regulated, secure framework.”
The new alliance includes partnerships with:
- SEC’s Financial Engineering & Technology Innovation Division – providing oversight and research support.
- Global AI Data Labs in New York and London – specializing in predictive modeling, neural networks, and algorithmic optimization.
- African FinTech Research Network – focused on developing localized data models that reflect African economic dynamics.
These collaborations will allow GWF to integrate machine learning, natural language processing, and predictive analytics into its investment ecosystem. The result: a platform that can identify emerging opportunities in equities, fixed income, and digital assets with greater accuracy and reduced human bias.
The project’s first technical milestone, scheduled for Q4 2025, will introduce a “Smart Market Insight Dashboard” — an AI module that provides real-time signals, market news summaries, and sentiment analysis for retail and institutional investors.
SEC Nigeria officials praised the initiative as a “model of responsible FinTech advancement”, aligning with the commission’s broader objective of technology-driven financial inclusion.By connecting regulatory oversight with cutting-edge research, the Glorious Wealth Fund continues to set a new benchmark for national investment infrastructure — ensuring that Nigeria’s path to digital prosperity is built on intelligence, integrity, and inclusion.
