The Director General of the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), Kashifu Inuwa Abdullahi has assured the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) of the Agency’s total commitment towards realising the Commission’s vision of embracing digital technologies in its processes.

This was fallout of a courtesy visit paid to NITDA by a team led by the NBC Director-General, Director General, Balarabe Shehu Ilelah, at the Agency’s Corporate Headquarters in Abuja.

The NBC had approached the NITDA to seek its intervention in the digitisation of its processes, to change the Commission’s operation by incorporating the use of modern digital technology equipment in monitoring media stations.

Abdullahi said NITDA as a government IT regulatory saddled with the mandate of developing and regulating the use of IT in Nigeria, deploys its expertise to support any organization with zeal to upgrade to modern technology.

Abdullahi disclosed that NITDA recently unveiled its Strategic Road Map and Action Plan 2021-2024 (SRAP) and urged the NBC to key into the programme and activities being provided by the Agency.
