…FCT Secretariats to be digitally transformed —Tijani
The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) is set to witness a digital revolution as the local area secretariats prepare to join the digital age. Nigeria’s Minister of Communications, Innovation, and Digital Economy, Bosun Tijani, announced the initiative, revealing that the Bwari Area Council will be the first to be connected to the internet under the ambitious #Project774.
#Project774, a flagship program under the Ministry of Communications, Innovation, and Digital Economy, is not just about connecting areas to the internet; it’s about optimising existing infrastructure, including the extensive fibre network of Galaxy Backbone, to maximise value for Nigerian citizens. This initiative underscores the government’s commitment to leveraging technology to enhance service delivery, promote transparency, and drive economic growth.
Minister Bosun Tijani praised the dedication and hard work of the teams involved in the implementation of #Project774, emphasising the pivotal role of connectivity in advancing socio-economic development. He stated, “Well done to our teams on the ground. We keep moving!” This statement reflects the government’s unwavering determination to advance its digital agenda and ensure that every Nigerian benefits from the digital revolution.
The connection of the FCT local area secretariats to the internet is expected to have a transformative impact on governance and service delivery. It will facilitate seamless communication, improve access to information, and enhance the efficiency of administrative processes. Additionally, it will empower residents of the FCT to engage more effectively with their local governments and participate in decision-making processes.
The decision to connect the FCT local area secretariats to the internet is part of the government’s broader strategy to bridge the digital divide and promote inclusive growth. By leveraging existing infrastructure and partnerships, the government is demonstrating its commitment to delivering tangible benefits to all Nigerians, regardless of their location or socio-economic status.
As #Project774 continues to roll out across the country, Nigerians can look forward to an era of enhanced connectivity, improved service delivery, and increased opportunities for economic empowerment. The government’s focus on optimising existing infrastructure to extract value for the people is a testament to its innovative approach to governance and its determination to build a digital economy that works for all.
