National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) was created in April 2001 to implement the Nigerian Information Technology Policy and co-ordinate general IT development in the country.

Our Act (National Information Technology Development Act (2007) mandate us to create a framework for the planning, research, development, standardization, application, coordination, monitoring, evaluation and regulation of Information Technology practices, activities and systems in Nigeria.

Our role therefore is to develop, regulate and advise on Information technology in the country through regulatory standards, guidelines and policies. Additionally, NITDA is the clearing house for all IT projects and infrastructural development in the country. It is the prime Agency for e-government implementation, Internet governance and general IT development in Nigeria.

NITDA is poised to actualise its mammoth mandate through one of its initiatives, DL4ALL, which aims to empower every citizen with the digital skills they need to thrive in today's interconnected world.

DL4ALL Vision: To create a digitally literate Nigeria where everyone can access opportunities, contribute to development, and secure a brighter future.

To achieve this vision, we are focusing on three key programs:

• Inclusion of digital literacy into the curriculum of schools

• Digital literacy training and certification for the Nation's workforce. 

• Digital literacy program for the informal sector through collaboration with relevant stakeholders.
