The National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) has invited stakeholders across government, industry, academia, and civil society to a public review session of two key regulatory frameworks, the Draft Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) Live Events and the Draft Technical Standard for the Nigerian Data Exchange (NGDX).
According to a press release signed by the Director, Corporate Communications and Media Relations Department, NITDA, Mrs. Hadiza Umar, the session is scheduled to hold on Thursday, 18th September 2025, at the Digital Economy Complex, NCC Building, Mbora, Abuja, beginning at 9:00 a.m.
According to the Agency, the initiative is part of its Rule-Making Process (RMP) designed to ensure the co-creation of regulatory instruments that are inclusive, trusted, and sustainable, while aligning Nigeria’s digital transformation efforts with international best practices.
The Draft DPI Live event aims to enhance the deployment of national digital infrastructure, boost e-Government services, and encourage private sector collaboration. Similarly, the Draft NGDX framework seeks to establish a secure and unified data-sharing system for government and private institutions, thereby improving service delivery, cutting inefficiencies, and driving innovation across key sectors such as finance, healthcare, education, and agriculture.
NITDA noted that the NGDX has been designed with strong safeguards around data protection, authentication, and privacy, aligning with globally accepted standards and positioning Nigeria as a continental leader in digital public infrastructure.
Ahead of the review, NITDA’s Director General, Kashifu Inuwa Abdullahi, underscored the importance of stakeholder participation, stressing that the success and sustainability of the initiatives depend on broad input from diverse sectors. “Nigeria’s digital public infrastructure must be co-created with all stakeholders to ensure resilience, foster innovation, and build trust,” he said.
The initiatives are central to the Federal Government’s Renewed Hope agenda under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, with international support from the European Union’s Global Gateway initiative and technical collaborations with leading digital nations, including Finland, Estonia, Germany, and France.
