The Ministry of Communications and Digital Economy, led by Dr. Isa Pantami, has signed a new deal with the Republic of Korea valued over N5 billion ($13 million).
The deal was signed in Abuja on Thursday by Korea’s grant aid agency, the Korea International Cooperation Agency Office (KOICA) in Nigeria.
The agreement aims to expand e-government and increase access to the National Identification Number enrolment process (NIN).
The new agreement, according to the KOICA Office in Nigeria, will aid in the implementation of the ‘Project for Building Foundations Towards Digital Governance in Nigeria from 2020 to 2026.’
The statement reads;
The project, which is fully funded by the Korean government through grant aid, is expected to enhance capacity for the further execution of key initiatives of the National eGovernment Master Plan, improve competencies for e-government service delivery through capacity building programmes, expand the delivery of government digital services through the activation of the government service portal, www.services.gov.ng, and create increased access for NIN enrolment through the establishment of additional NIN enrolment centres.
