NITDA DG Stresses Alignment of Digital Transformation and Regulation in Nigeria

Kashifu Inuwa, the Director General of the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), highlights the necessity of synchronizing digital transformation with regulation in Nigeria's rapidly evolving digital landscape. Inuwa stresses that digital transformation is an ongoing process requiring continuous improvement and adaptation to emerging realities.

He mentions the agency's transformation journey towards becoming a high-velocity smart public sector organization by focusing on three core pillars: people, process, and technology. Inuwa underscores the significance of deploying technology driven by business value rather than trends, with a clear emphasis on supporting well-defined processes and organizational objectives.

The agency is developing a comprehensive digital transformation playbook to document lessons learned and share insights with government institutions like the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) and others.
