The South Korean global agency is investing $8.56 million for the implementation of capacity building programme for e-Government in Nigeria.
Minister of Communications, Barrister Adebayo Shittu, is currently leading a 14-man delegation to the 10-day High Level Capacity Building for e-Government in Nigeria Benchmarking Invitational Program.
The Invitational Program, designed for senior government officials was put together by the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA).
The collaboration with the Korean Government is expected to enhance Nigeria’s capability for efficiency, transparency and accountability in governance, with its attendant benefits trickling down to the masses.
The project has three components :Establishing an e- Government Master Plan (ii)Capacity Development Programme (CDP) and (iii) Establishing an e- Government Training Center in Nigeria.
According to a statement by the Minister’s Special Assistant on Media, Victor Oluwadamilare, the Minister stated that the project is geared towards ensuring that Nigeria makes the best use of the opportunity of e- Government to increase the nation’s capability for efficiency, transparency and accountability in governance.
This, he averred, is in tandem with the vision of President Muhammadu Buhari,in his desire to turn around the fortunes of the country in laying a new and enduring foundation for a better future for the masses of our people.
The Minister, urged participants at the event to take a full advantage of the Korean Government’s gesture in taking new initiatives that will impact the way Nigerians are governed and propel the country to greatness that will give the needed impetus to the Change Agenda of President Muhammadu Buhari.
The participants include the Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu, Permanent Secretaries, National Assembly members and others.
