As part of efforts towards advancing Information and Technology development in Nigeria, Anambra and Lagos states have agreed to a partnership that will see to the strengthening of IT ecosystems in their respective states.
The objectives and key highlights of the Anambra/Lagos partnership include cybersecurity collaboration, protection of IT assets, cyber protection measures, and expansion of IT service platforms.
A statement on Saturday by Managing Director/CEO of Anambra State ICT Agency, Chukwuemeka Agbata, said the collaborative effort stemmed from bilateral meetings with the IT ecosystem members during the Reverse Trade Mission in the United States of America, geared towards addressing emerging challenges, fostering innovation, and enhancing the overall cybersecurity infrastructure.
Agbata said collaborating with Lagos State is an opportunity to leverage each other’s strengths and elevate the IT services market with a view to achieve technological excellence and contribute significantly to Nigeria’s digital transformation.
He said, “This no doubt resonates with the Federal Government’s call, through the Minister of Communications, Innovation, and Digital Economy, Dr. Bosun Tijani, at the recently concluded meeting of the Nigeria National Council of ICT Heads of Ministries, Departments and Agencies in Abeokuta, Ogun State, for the digitalisation of MDAs operations.
