In a bid to advance Nigeria’s digital transformation and promote greater financial accountability in information technology initiatives, the Director General of the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), Kashifu Inuwa, recently led his management team on a strategic visit to the Accountant General of the Federation, Shamseldeen B. Ogunjimi.
The visit was aimed at reinforcing collaboration between NITDA and the Office of the Accountant General, with particular emphasis on refining funding frameworks and enhancing oversight mechanisms for IT projects implemented across federal public institutions.

The updated guideline introduces stricter compliance measures to foster transparency, ensure accountability, and curb corruption and duplication in the procurement and implementation of government IT projects nationwide.
