I\u2019m grateful to the Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation for partnering with us to advance this important project,\u201d he added.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>He noted that the NWDS Project aligns with the Ministry\u2019s broader strategy to deliver inclusive and transparent digital services. Other initiatives under this strategy include the 3 Million Technical Talent (3MTT) programme, which is training young Nigerians in digital skills, as well as efforts to expand broadband access, develop an artificial intelligence policy, and build the nation\u2019s digital infrastructure.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>For the Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation, the NWDS Project represents a continuation of its work to accelerate digital transformation in Nigeria\u2019s public sector. The Foundation has supported the digitisation of the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation and is currently aiding digital upgrades in other government agencies.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Chairman of the Foundation,\u00a0Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede,\u00a0emphasised the importance of setting a national digital standard.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cThe introduction of a national standard for government websites is a bold and necessary step. It says to every Nigerian, we are one government, working together to serve you better. A standardised approach will ensure our websites are not only aesthetically aligned but also functional, accessible, and user-centric, meeting the diverse needs of Nigerians at home and abroad,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The Foundation is also strengthening its digital engagement by signing Memoranda of Understanding with key ministries, including the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment, and the Federal Civil Service Commission.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Both FMCIDE and the civil society organisation affirmed that their collaboration is driven by a shared vision\u2014to create a unified, efficient digital platform that delivers government services to all Nigerians, regardless of location or status.<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Daniel Adaji The Federal Government has partnered with the Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation to establish a new standard for public sector websites, aimed at simplifying and unifying the online experience for&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":120842,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"no","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-120840","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
