NCC, Head of Civil Service Forge Alliance on Public Sector Digitalisation
Abuja, Nigeria – Efforts to modernise Nigeria’s public service received a boost as the Executive Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), Dr. Aminu Maida, held a strategic meeting with the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Didi Esther Walson-Jack, during a courtesy visit on March 25, 2026.
The engagement, which took place in Abuja, centred on building stronger cooperation between the telecoms regulator and the federal civil service to accelerate the integration of digital technologies into government operations.
Maida, who led the NCC delegation, highlighted the Commission’s role in providing the regulatory backbone and infrastructure support needed to drive digital innovation across public institutions. He stressed that closer collaboration with the civil service would help unlock new efficiencies, improve service delivery, and support Nigeria’s broader digital economy objectives.
He added that the NCC remains committed to enabling seamless connectivity and fostering policies that encourage the adoption of technology across Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs).
In her response, Walson-Jack reaffirmed the civil service’s commitment to ongoing reforms aimed at transforming the public sector into a more efficient and citizen-focused system. She noted that digital tools are increasingly central to achieving transparency, accountability, and improved performance in government processes.
The Head of Service also underscored the importance of partnerships with institutions like the NCC in driving sustainable change, noting that such collaborations are key to embedding innovation within the civil service framework.
The visit signals a renewed push to align Nigeria’s telecommunications capabilities with public sector reform initiatives, as both institutions seek to enhance governance through technology-driven solutions.
