African countries including Kenya, South Africa, Uganda and Rwanda are among several others confirmed for the December 2, 2022 launch of the continent’s first humanoid robot “Omeife” in Abuja which will also have a strong presence by the government of Finland.
Nigeria plays host to the launch with a strong federal government presence led by the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Prof Isa Ali Ibrahim Pantami.
The humanoid was created by Uniccon Group of Companies, one of Nigeria’s fastest growing technology startups that offers eclectic, innovative technology solutions to businesses and government agencies across Africa.
Omeife is a 6-foot-tall female, African humanoid that provides language as a service for businesses needing to integrate native African audiences. She is also a multipurpose and assistance robot. She speaks African languages and is programmed to have a deep understanding of African culture and behavioral patterns.
“Africa and the rest of world join Nigeria to unveil this remarkable feat in robotic engineering,” organizers said.

The erudite Pantami is expected to lead the official unveiling under the theme: ‘The Future of Artificial Intelligence in African Tech Ecosystem’ with stakeholders expected from government, the diplomatic corps, academic and research institutions, business and investment communities as well as the technology & innovation sector.
The global unveiling of ‘Omeife’ took place in GITEX GLOBAL, Dubai, last month October.
