NITDA Releases Draft Technical Standards for Nigeria’s Digital Public Infrastructure, Opens Public Consultation
Share

The National Information Technology Development Agency has published the draft Technical Standards for Nigeria’s Digital Public Infrastructure and is inviting public participation to review and provide feedback on the proposed framework. The initiative is a pivotal move in the country’s digital transformation agenda and aligns with ongoing efforts to build a secure, inclusive, and interoperable digital ecosystem.

 

This draft marks a critical step toward implementing the broader Digital Public Infrastructure Framework launched on March 4, 2025, by the Federal Government through the Ministry of Communications, Innovations, and Digital Economy. The goal is to drive economic growth, improve public service delivery, and empower citizens through digital access.

The draft framework introduces the Nigerian Digital Public Infrastructure Centre, which will serve as the central implementation office responsible for coordinating development, education, research, and knowledge-sharing across the ecosystem. This centre is expected to lead efforts to establish a citizen-focused, resilient, and innovative infrastructure base.

According to NITDA, the draft Technical Standards offer a structured approach to developing and deploying Nigeria’s digital infrastructure. The document includes clear technical requirements, integration protocols, and best practices designed to ensure operational efficiency, cybersecurity, and interoperability across public-sector digital platforms.

The framework also highlights integration of sector-specific infrastructure such as digital identity systems, data exchange mechanisms, and payment platforms. It emphasizes strong collaboration between government and private sector actors in building foundational digital services that benefit all Nigerians.

The key objectives of the draft include promoting platform interoperability, safeguarding citizen data, increasing accessibility for marginalized populations, setting performance benchmarks, strengthening governance, encouraging open-source innovation, and establishing uniform testing standards for digital systems.

NITDA noted that the draft was developed following extensive consultations with both domestic and international stakeholders. It reflects global best practices while addressing Nigeria’s unique socio-economic landscape and digital ambitions.

The agency has made the draft available on its website and is encouraging stakeholders to submit written comments or suggestions to regulations @nitda.gov.ng on or before May 8, 2025.

The consultation process is expected to shape Nigeria’s approach to building robust, scalable, and secure digital public infrastructure capable of supporting long-term, inclusive national development.
