Coordinated ICT Development across All Sectors
Coordination amongst MDA’s in respect of ICT services will eliminate overlaps,
create more efficiency, reduce government expenditure and encourage holistic
planning of ICT deployments, capacity building, and utilization.
7.13.1 Situation Analysis
ICT development in Nigeria is hampered by the lack of a cohesive framework that
unites sector development plans with a broader ICT policy environment. This has
resulted in uneven development across the various sectors, capacity gaps,
duplication of efforts and resources, and a lack of holistic policy implementation.
Appropriate measures should therefore be put in place to create an enabling
environment that will enhance effective and coordinated ICT development across all
sectors.
