FG to train civil servants on ICT, digitise all MDAs

The Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Mrs Esther Walson-Jack, has expressed the readiness of her office to work with the Digital Bridge Institute (DBI) and leverage on its expertise to train civil servants on ICT and digitise all the Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) of the Federal Government

Walson-Jack who stated this when the President/Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of DBI, Mr. David Daser, paid her a courtesy visit, noted the Federal Government’s priority to digitise all MDAs, adding that the vision was very essential and dear to the present administration, led by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Walson-Jack gave her commitment to strengthening ongoing collaboration and supporting the transformation of Nigeria’s public service through digital capacity building.

She said, “The vision is to enhance efficiency, transparency, and innovation in public service delivery, and this office will leave no stone unturned to ensure that our civil servants are trained in the area of ICT and all the MDAs are effectively digitised, in line with the global standards.”

The HOSF lauded DBI’s efforts in driving ICT training and capacity development and expressed readiness to work more closely with the institute to realise this national objective.

In response, the DBI President reaffirmed the Institute’s dedication to supporting her office through structured digital training programs, partnerships, and the deployment of tailored ICT solutions aimed at equipping the civil service with 21st-century ICT and Digital skills.

Daser explained that DBI is a quasi-ministry and private institution that understands both the private sector and civil service landscapes.

He noted that the DBI, with its campuses strategically located across all six geo-political zones of the country, is uniquely positioned to train civil servants nationwide.

Daser highlighted DBI’s alignment with the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, especially in empowering Nigerian youth through digital literacy.

He also noted that DBI’s initiatives are in line with the 3MTT (Three Million Technical Talent) program of the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Dr. Bosun Tijani.

The engagement marks a renewed commitment to bridging digital gaps within the public sector and fostering a modern, tech-driven service architecture in Nigeria.
