Bello Shehu Tijjani

I am an AI Governance and Digital Communications Strategist passionate about driving Africa’s leadership in responsible and inclusive artificial intelligence. Currently serving as Head of IT & Communications at the Responsible AI Governance Initiative (RAI-GI), I work at the intersection of technology, policy, and public engagement to promote ethical AI adoption and build trust in digital ecosystems.

I have contributed to the conceptualization and establishment of RAI-GI, helping define its strategic direction and partnerships. My work includes co-developing Africa’s first inclusive AI policy frameworks, and leading AI awareness and advocacy campaigns that bridge the gap between innovation and governance.

I’m deeply committed to shaping the future of AI governance through stakeholder collaboration, responsible innovation, and ethical frameworks that ensure AI serves all segments of society.
