The National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), in line with the Federal Government’s Renewed Hope Agenda and its Strategic Roadmap and Action Plan (SRAP 2024–2027), has partnered with the Lagos State Government to strengthen digital governance and innovation at the sub-national level.
At a technical session with the Lagos State Technical Working Group (TWG), held at Semicolon Africa in Lagos, stakeholders from NITDA’s Southwest Zonal Office, the Lagos State Government, TWG members, and private sector players gathered under the theme “Policy Alignment, Innovation, and Digital Inclusion for Sub-National Development.”
The meeting featured presentations on NITDA’s Regulatory Intelligence Framework (RIF), discussions on policy adoption challenges, and inputs from the Lagos State Ministry of Innovation, Science and Technology, which reaffirmed its commitment to leverage NITDA’s frameworks, including SRAP 2.0, the National Digital Literacy Framework (NDLF), and the Nigeria Startup Act.
The TWG pledged to support Lagos in developing and implementing digital policies that enhance service delivery and empower underserved communities.
According to NITDA, the session marks a milestone in its sub-national engagement model, positioning Lagos as a leading template for policy co-creation, stakeholder collaboration, and inclusive digital governance in Nigeria.
