The National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) was created on the 18th of April 2001 to implement the Nigerian Information Technology Policy and coordinate general IT development in the country.
The Agency’s Act mandates it to create a framework for the planning, research, development, standardization, application, coordination, monitoring, evaluation, and regulation of Information Technology practices, activities, and systems in Nigeria.
Its role, therefore, is to develop, regulate and advise on Information technology in the country through regulatory standards, guidelines and policies. Additionally, NITDA is the clearing house for all IT projects and infrastructural development in the country. It is the prime Agency for e-government implementation, Internet governance, and General IT development in Nigeria.
NITDA is poised to actualize its mammoth mandate through strategic and inclusive stakeholder management, local and international partnership, and efficient utilization of resources in the interest of Nigeria
The National Information Technology Development Agency’s (NITDA) dogged passion for ICT development in Nigeria over the years has contributed to the increase in the Gross Domestic Product, (GDP) and ignited job and wealth creation in the country.
