Anambra State is stepping up its game in digital governance and revenue automation! On January 27, 2025, the Anambra State ICT Agency and the Anambra Internal Revenue Service (AIRS) actively participated in the Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) and Intelligent Revenue Authority (IRA) Validation Workshop in Abuja. Hosted by the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF), the event was a strategic turning point for states looking to embrace cutting-edge digital solutions.

At the heart of the workshop was a game-changing mission: evaluating Nigeria’s readiness for DPI implementation, a system that integrates digital identity, data ecosystems, and seamless payment platforms to drive economic growth and revolutionize public service delivery.

The Anambra delegation didn’t just attend—they took the lead in shaping conversations around best practices, policy frameworks, and next-generation tech solutions for governance. A key highlight was a deep dive into DPI and IRA Readiness Tools, equipping states with the knowledge to assess and enhance their digital infrastructure for smarter revenue automation.

Beyond theoretical discussions, the workshop featured hands-on state-specific assessments, helping participants pinpoint strengths, tackle challenges, and unlock opportunities for seamless digital transformation. Collaborative strategy sessions focused on bridging digital gaps, boosting revenue efficiency, and aligning with global best practices for service excellence.

Anambra is not just talking about digital transformation—it’s taking bold steps to implement DPI-compliant solutions. The state is already gearing up to strengthen its legal and administrative frameworks, ensuring that its digital infrastructure aligns with the demands of a modern, tech-driven economy.

With its vision firmly set on becoming a digital-first powerhouse, Anambra State is leveraging technology to enhance governance, maximize revenue, and set a new standard for smart public service delivery in Nigeria.
