Nigeria is making significant strides toward realizing an ambitious vision of a $1 trillion digital economy. The federal government is actively advancing its inaugural E-Governance Bill, a groundbreaking legislative effort aimed at harmonizing the nation’s digital frameworks. This bill is set to enhance the efficiency of governmental operations and embed technology as a core pillar in Nigeria’s strategic development agenda.
Having successfully passed both the first and second readings in the National Assembly, this legislation seeks to unify the fragmented ICT and data governance policies under one comprehensive legal framework. By eliminating redundant regulations and streamlining oversight, the bill is expected to elevate governance quality and accelerate Nigeria’s ongoing digital transformation efforts.
