Nigeria advances digital inclusion with new NITDA Zonal Office in Enugu

As Nigeria prepares to mark the second anniversary of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's administration, the Federal Ministry of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy has commissioned the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) South East Zonal Office in Enugu. The new facility represents a strategic step in decentralizing digital governance and accelerating tech adoption across Nigeria's regions. 

The Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, Dr. Bosun Tijani who commissioned the office, noted the office's role in driving grassroots innovation. "This zonal office brings government support closer to the people of South East Nigeria, ensuring no community is left behind in our digital transformation journey," he stated during the inauguration ceremony. 

The Enugu office will serve as a hub for implementing key digital economy initiatives, including capacity building programs, startup support, and technology infrastructure development tailored to the region's needs. Its establishment aligns with President Tinubu's Renewed Hope Agenda to foster inclusive economic growth through technology. 

The Minister confirmed this commissioning marks the first in a series of anniversary showcases highlighting the administration's digital economy achievements. Similar zonal offices are planned across Nigeria's six geopolitical zones to strengthen nationwide tech ecosystem development.
