THE Federal Government and other industry stakeholders have partnered to increase efficiency and service delivery through e- Government adoption.

With the theme ‘ e- Government Adoption in Nigeria: Opportunities and Challenges’, the organisers, Digiserve Network Services Limited, in partnership with NCC, FIRS, Association of Telecommunications Companies of Nigeria ( ATCON) and Association of Licensed Telephone Operators of Nigeria ( ALTON), said the event would discuss the need to reposition government agencies and parastatals to enable them to take advantage of aadvances in Information and Communication Technologies ( ICT) to improve service delivery to Nigerians.

The Executive Chairman, Digiserve Network Services, Lanre Ajayi, said this year’s summit would focus on opportunities and challenges of e- Government adoption in Nigeria.

Ajayi: “With the advent of democracy, expectations of citizens from governments are higher. Citizens rate their governments largely on how efficient and effective government services are delivered to them. e- Government, which is essentially about the deployment of technologies in government processes and service delivery to citizens, provides immense opportunities for governments to deliver services to citizens most effectively and efficiently.”
