In a move to strengthen Nigeria’s digital economy, the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) has unveiled plans to build websites for all 774 Local Government Areas (LGAs) across the country.
Director-General Kashifu Inuwa announced this during a courtesy visit to the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) in Abuja. He explained that the initiative will not only promote transparency and accountability but also open new digital channels for local businesses to thrive.
“Creating websites for LGAs will connect communities, boost citizen engagement, and enhance visibility for small enterprises operating at the grassroots,” Inuwa said.
