Over 66 per cent of such institutions are at what the agency called “emerging stage” of IT utilisation.

Nigeria’s National Information Technology Development Agency has criticised government institutions for underutilising enterprise technology saying only 4.7 per cent of federal institutions use IT “in somewhat effective manner”.

NITDA’s director general, Isa Pantami, however said with the presentation of Nigerian Government Enterprise Architecture framework to stakeholders on Thursday, the agency is setting the tune to changing the current reality. He listed some of the challenges to include inefficient IT environment, poor interoperability of IT systems, poor information sharing across agencies, maintenance of unnecessary multiple sites and unstandardized communication channels.

“We also have unfriendly and weak institutions; inadequacy of finance for ICT projects as a result of competing demands and inability to properly align government businesses and ICT deployment, among others,” he said. The official, however, commended ICT adoption as exemplified by the Treasury Single Account , Integrated Personnel Payroll Information System , Government Information Financial Management Information System , Bank Verification Number , e-Taxation, e-Passport and e-Wallet system for farmers.
