NITDA's Strategic Roadmap and Action Plan

The National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) has called for renewed collaboration among stakeholders to advance Nigeria's digital transformation agenda. This was highlighted during the SRAP 2.0 Stakeholders’ Engagement at Lagos Business School, Lagos State, where the agency emphasized the importance of partnerships in implementing its Strategic Roadmap and Action Plan (SRAP 2.0).

Shift Towards an Ecosystem Approach

Kashifu Inuwa, NITDA's Director-General, represented by Dr. Aristotle Onumo, noted the agency's shift from a regulatory institution to an ecosystem platform. This approach encourages co-creation and collaboration, aiming to create an enabling environment for digital innovation. The agency has been transitioning over the past three years and is nearing the final phase of this process.

Stakeholder Involvement and Progress Assessment

The engagement also served as a platform to assess progress against established priorities, determine their relevance, and identify necessary modifications. Inuwa highlighted that the roadmap was developed through extensive stakeholder consultations, making their continued involvement crucial for evaluating the effectiveness of NITDA's initiatives.
