The National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), has officially obtained the Nigeria Government Enterprise Architecture (NGEA) Portal from KOICA, a major step in Nigeria’s digital transformation under the e-Government Masterplan 2.0.
Launched in late 2022 through a Nigeria-Korea partnership, the NGEA initiative modernizes public sector infrastructure with standardized frameworks for better interoperability and efficiency. Over 2.5 years, experts developed reference models (Technology, Business, Service, plus upcoming Data and Performance ones) and piloted them at agencies like NIMC, Nigeria Customs, Immigration Service, and NITDA, including capacity building and custom roadmaps.
Indigenous firm Qorebox Technologies deployed supporting infrastructure via Galaxy Backbone, backed by a two-year maintenance plan. At the Abuja handover, NITDA DG Kashifu Inuwa Abdullahi (represented by Dr. Dimie Warowei) called it a foundation for coordinated, citizen-focused governance that cuts duplication and boosts service delivery.
KOICA Country Director Eunsub Kim praised the NITDA-led collaboration, while the Ministry of Communications’ Permanent Secretary (represented by Mr. Johnson Bareyei) hailed it as aligning with Dr. Bosun Tijani’s agenda for unified digital efforts. NITDA will now manage the portal’s operations and nationwide rollout.
