By taking gradual, modular steps — building capacity, securing data, designing for inclusivity, and ensuring systems work together — Nigeria can begin to transform its public service into one that is faster, more transparent, and truly responsive to citizens’ needs.
Nigeria must embrace a GovTech approach — one that uses modern, interoperable digital systems and data-driven practices to redesign how government delivers services, manages information, and interacts with citizens. GovTech is not about automating paperwork; it is about transforming service delivery through integrated platforms that connect identity, payments, and data securely across institutions.
The Deputy National Chairman of the Nigerian Institution of Highway and Transportation Engineers (NIHTE), Bola Mudasiru, says smart infrastructure is transforming urban development by harnessing technology to drive sustainability and efficiency.
Mudasiru made the remark during his presentation at the Zimbabwe Institution of Engineers International Conference recently.
