The Anambra State ICT Agency (ICTA) has assessed about 25 Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) to determine their level of digital readiness and identify areas requiring intervention.

The MDA and Compliance Unit reviewed government websites, official emails, digital records, online services, payment systems, data management, cybersecurity and compliance with ICT standards across key institutions.

Unit Lead, Madam Chinyelu Odigbo, said the exercise would provide evidence to guide ICTA’s support, training and compliance interventions.

“Government does not run on assumptions. It runs on evidence,” she said.

Early findings have identified gaps in areas including NDPA 2023 compliance and records management. ICTA is tracking these gaps and working with designated ICT focal persons to support improvements.

The ongoing assessment is expected to contribute to a broader digital maturity scorecard and help strengthen efficient, secure and citizen-focused government services across Anambra.
