NITDA Rewards Civil Servants with Laptops Under Digital Literacy Programme

The Director General of the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), Kashifu Inuwa Abdullahi, visited the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation to recognise civil servants participating in the Digital Literacy for All (DL4ALL) initiative.

During the visit, Inuwa presen ted laptops to high-performing participants as part of efforts to encourage the practical application of digital skills acquired through the programme.

He reaffirmed NITDA’s commitment to achieving 95 per cent digital literacy by 2030, with an interim milestone of 70 per cent by 2027.

According to him, more than 54,000 civil servants have already enrolled in the initiative, which is aimed at building a digitally enabled and future-ready public service in line with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.

“DL4ALL is equipping public servants with practical digital skills to enhance productivity and improve service delivery across government institutions,” Inuwa said.

The programme is being implemented in partnership with the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation to strengthen institutional efficiency through technology-driven capacity development.

The Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Mrs Didi Esther Walson-Jack, commended NITDA for its leadership and strategic vision in promoting digital capacity across the public service.

She noted that the initiative aligns with ongoing public service reforms aimed at building a more competent and technology-driven civil service.
