The digital transformation of Anambra’s public service continues to gain momentum as the Anambra State Civil Service Commission today received a set of digital tools, courtesy of Governor Chukwuma Soludo, to boost operational efficiency and improve service delivery.
The handover, which took place at the Commission’s headquarters in Awka, was led by the MD/CEO of the Anambra State ICT Agency, Chukwuemeka Fred Agbata (CFA).
Speaking at the event, CFA emphasized that the distribution of digital tools aligns with Governor Soludo’s bold vision for a smarter and more efficient Anambra State.
“This handover is part of a broader journey that started in 2023 when Governor Soludo launched the pilot phase of this initiative by releasing over 200 state-of-the-art laptops and computers to various MDAs and political appointees.
“Since then, the rollout has extended to the State Fire Service, 2,000 newly recruited teachers, Local Government Heads of Budget, Planning, Research and Statistics, Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Special Duties, Disability Rights Commission, and now Civil Service Commission.
Notably, it also includes the Smart School project, currently being piloted across 21 schools as a model for digital learning and 21st century classroom transformation,” CFA concluded.
Receiving the tools on behalf of the Commission, the Chairman, Mr. Tony Ezenwaka (NPOM), expressed deep appreciation to Governor Soludo for the timely intervention which will definitely enhance productivity.
“We have been praying for this, and now, through the intervention of the Anambra State ICT Agency, the tools are here. Now, we can speed up processes in the Commission.
“We are grateful to Mr. Governor for answering our prayers. We urge you to keep your eyes on us. The staff needs to be trained as well, so we look forward to that,” Ezenwaka said.
This latest phase underscores Governor Soludo’s unwavering commitment to e-governance and public sector innovation, ensuring that institutions are digitally equipped to meet the demands of modern governance.
