The Federal Government has begun integrating the National Digital Alphanumeric Postcode System into the operations of Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) as part of efforts to improve public service delivery and accelerate Nigeria’s digital economy agenda.
Didi Walson-Jack, head of the civil service of the federation, said the initiative would provide a critical foundation for Nigeria’s digital transformation by strengthening governance, improving service delivery and supporting data-driven public administration.
Represented by Abdul Sule Garba, permanent secretary, Service-Wide Office, Walson-Jack spoke at a stakeholders’ engagement on the National Digital Alphanumeric Postcode System organised by the Ministry of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy in collaboration with the Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST) in Abuja.
The event, themed “Embedding the Nigerian Digital Postcode in Public Service Delivery,” was convened to sensitise MDAs on the adoption of the digital addressing system across government institutions.
“The adoption of the Nigerian Digital Postcode is a strategic initiative with the potential to significantly improve public administration, service delivery, institutional integrity and digital governance across the country,” Walson-Jack said.
