For decades, buying fuel has followed the same routine across Nigeria — drive in, wait your turn, speak to an attendant, make a transfer (or bring out cash), and hope there’s no delay or mix-up before you leave. Now, that routine may be on its way out.

They’re massive. According to the Bank’s latest study developed under the G20 Digital Transformation Working Group, Africa could unlock up to $1 trillion in additional GDP by 2035 through inclusive AI adoption.

These aren’t future plans. This is happening now.
