Highlighting the link between corruption and human contact, Abdullahi expressed optimism that technology could play a pivotal role in eliminating corrupt practices. He assured the ICPC of NITDA’s commitment to collaborating in digitizing services, aiming to monitor and curb corruption in public institutions. He emphasized that automation is an ongoing process, not a one-time event.
The NITDA boss stated, “We have over 293 processes to automate, but we are selecting them one after the other to achieve the agency’s goal. We do this for other ministries, departments, and agencies, with various initiatives in place to facilitate their digital transformation.”
This collaboration signals a proactive step towards leveraging technology to strengthen anti-corruption measures, showcasing the commitment of both agencies to embracing digital solutions for a more transparent and accountable governance system in Nigeria.
