The digital transformation of Anambra’s public service continues to gain momentum as the Anambra State Civil Service Commission received a set of digital tools to boost operational efficiency and improve service delivery. The handover, which took place at the Commission’s headquarters in Awka, was led by the MD/CEO of the Anambra State ICT Agency, Chukwuemeka Fred Agbata.
Speaking on the occasion the MD, State ICT Agency, pointed out that the ICT Agency distribution of digital tools aligns with Governor Soludo’s bold vision for a smarter and more efficient Anambra State. He said the handover was part of a broader journey that started in 2023 when Governor Soludo launched the pilot phase of the initiative by releasing over 200 state-of-the-art laptops and computers to various MDAs and political appointees.
Agbata said since then, the rollout has extended to the State Fire Service, 2,000 newly recruited teachers, Local Government Heads of Budget, Planning, Research and Statistics, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Special Duties, the Disability Rights Commission, and now the Civil Service Commission. According to him, the programe also includes the Smart School project, currently being piloted across 21 schools as a model for digital learning and 21st-century classroom transformation.” he concluded.
Receiving the tools on behalf of the Commission, the Chairman, Mr. Tony Ezenwaka, expressed deep appreciation to Governor Soludo for the timely intervention which, he noted, will definitely enhance productivity.
