The Federal Government and the Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation have called for accelerated digital transformation across Nigeria’s civil service, with a push to end manual and opaque governance systems in Ministries, Departments, and Agencies.

A statement from the Foundation on Friday stated that President Bola Tinubu, represented by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume, gave the directive recently while declaring open the 2026 International Civil Service Conference at Eagle Square in Abuja

The conference, organised by the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, attracted over 5,000 participants, including delegates from 16 countries across Africa, Europe, Asia, and North America, under the theme, “Reforms, Resilience, and Results.”

Tinubu directed MDAs to deepen digitalised work processes as part of broader reforms aimed at improving efficiency, transparency, and service delivery in government institutions.

Chairman of the Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation, Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede, said meaningful public sector reforms would require stronger collaboration between government and the private sector.
