The Handbook connects Ndi Anambra to 35 live digital platforms, 29 ministry and agency websites, and 14 service areas, covering healthcare, justice, revenue, transport, road infrastructure, business, grievance reporting, youth development and other government services.
Speaking shortly after the unveiling ceremony, the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of the Agency, Mr Chukwuemeka Agbata, said the handbook is a digital platform (www.smartanambrastategov.ng/solution), designed to enable Ndi-Anambra have full access to the state government informations.
According to Agbata, the Digital Anambra Handbook is a gateway for Anambra residents to discover the digital solutions and services available across the State Government.
“It’s a hub design by the Agency to help actualized governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo’s vision of making Anambra a smart and digital State in Nigeria by 2070.
It’s a platform that will help Ndi-Anambra to find the right government service, discovering a digital solution or getting answers about Anambra State, which we called, “Anambra, Unlocked”.
The handbook will equally enable Ndi-Anambra know more of the State government activities in their various domains.
“What you see here is the work of many hands across Anambra, and it is only the beginning.
“We set out to make technology ordinary in this state: something every citizen, business and community can reach and use, not a privilege for a few. That is the idea behind everything we build in the state ICT Agency under my watch.
In a few short years we have laid over 700 kilometres of fibre, stood up our own Anambra Cloud, and put (NORA), the State AI to work for the people. There is far more ahead, and we are building it with the young people of this state, not only for them. That is our promise, and our way of working: everything technology, technology everywhere.
“The Agency is the official body driving e-governance, digital transformation, and technological innovation across Anambra State and we must sustain the nationwide recognition that Anambra is the first digital State in Nigeria, the MD assure.
While commending governor Soludo for his continue effort towards making Anambra a destination hub, Agbata urged media practitioners in the state to help spread the message across the state.
