Anambra State has reaffirmed its commitment to digital governance and revenue automation by participating in the Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) and Intelligent Revenue Authority (IRA) Validation Workshop.
Organized by the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) in Abuja on January 27, 2025, the workshop provided a strategic platform for states to assess their readiness for DPI implementation ¹.
The Anambra delegation, comprising officers from the Anambra ICT Agency and Anambra Internal Revenue Service (AIRS), engaged in discussions on best practices, policy alignment, and technology-driven solutions for improving governance.
Key highlights from the workshop included guided sessions on understanding DPI and IRA Readiness Tools, state-specific assessments, and insights on collaboration and strategy development.
The workshop aimed to integrate digital identity, data ecosystems, and payment systems to drive economic growth and efficient public service delivery.
Anambra State is set to strengthen its digital infrastructure by addressing identified gaps and implementing DPI-compliant solutions.
In line with the DPI initiative, the state will also enhance its legal and administrative frameworks.
As Anambra continues its strides towards digital transformation, the NGF DPI workshop will serve as a roadmap for leveraging technology to improve governance, enhance revenue generation, and build a truly digital-first economy.
