FG Launches Digital Framework To Enhance Government Service Delivery

The federal government has launched the Nigerian Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) framework, a new system designed to enhance the efficiency of government services through seamless digital integration.
Announcing the initiative via X, Bosun Tijani, Minister of Communications, Innovation, and Digital Economy, said the framework is aimed at fostering interoperability across government services and eliminating silos in service delivery. He emphasised that the system adopts a “whole-of-government approach” to ensure ministries, departments, and agencies (MDAs) operate in a more coordinated and efficient manner.
“To achieve a unified approach to delivering digital services across critical life events for Nigerians, I am pleased to announce the release of our Nigerian Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) framework, employing a ‘whole-of-government approach’ and leveraging the private sector’s capabilities to develop services for the public,” Tijani wrote.
According to the minister, the implementation of the framework will enable the government to provide end-to-end support for citizens, from birth to legacy, by ensuring interoperability across all government platforms.
The initiative also seeks to leverage private sector expertise in optimising digital governance, ensuring that applications and platforms function seamlessly to enhance public service delivery.
Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) has been widely recognised as a crucial element for modern governance. Last year, Carl Cruz, the former CEO of Airtel Nigeria, called on the government to prioritise DPI development, describing it as “the backbone of any modern society.”
With the introduction of this framework, the federal government aims to transform service delivery by creating a more interconnected, efficient, and citizen-friendly digital ecosystem.
