NITDA Calls for Public Input on Key Digital Infrastructure Frameworks
The National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) has announced a public review session for the Draft Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) Live Events and the Draft Technical Standard for the Nigerian Data Exchange (NGDX).
The session is scheduled to hold on Thursday, September 18, 2025, at the Digital Economy Complex, NCC Building, Mbora, Abuja, by 9:00 a.m. It forms part of NITDA’s Rule-Making Process (RMP) designed to co-create regulatory instruments that are trusted, inclusive, and sustainable while aligning Nigeria’s digital transformation journey with global best practices.
According to NITDA, the Draft DPI Live Events framework was developed to support the seamless deployment of national digital infrastructure, strengthen e-Government service delivery, and enhance collaboration across the private sector. Similarly, the Draft Technical Standard for the NGDX is designed to provide a unified and secure framework for data sharing across government and private institutions, reduce inefficiencies, and drive innovation in finance, healthcare, education, agriculture, and other critical sectors.
The NGDX also incorporates strong safeguards around data protection, authentication, and privacy, aligning with international standards and positioning Nigeria as a leader in digital public infrastructure in Africa.
The public review will enable stakeholders from government, industry, academia, and civil society to examine the draft documents, share feedback, and make recommendations that will guide their adoption and implementation. Drafts are available for review ahead of the session via https://shorturl.at/0zRg8.
Speaking ahead of the exercise, NITDA Director General, Kashifu Inuwa Abdullahi, emphasized the importance of inclusive participation. He noted that Nigeria’s digital public infrastructure must be co-created with all stakeholders to ensure resilience, innovation, and trust. “The success of these initiatives depends on the active involvement of stakeholders in providing valuable insights that will guide implementation and ensure sustainability,” Abdullahi said.
The DPI and NGDX are part of the Federal Government’s broader agenda to build a robust digital economy under the Renewed Hope vision of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The initiatives also enjoy support from international partners, including the European Union’s Global Gateway initiative, alongside technical collaboration with Finland, Estonia, Germany, and France.
