Nigeria is adopting digital public goods to build open, inclusive and cost-effective digital systems as part of its broader digital transformation agenda.
Digital public goods (DPGs) are gaining traction in Nigeria as open, reusable digital systems designed to serve public interest outcomes in areas such as health, education and governance. The framework promotes transparency, interoperability and reduced reliance on proprietary technologies as Nigeria expands its digital public infrastructure.
Announcing Nigeria’s membership of the Digital Public Goods Alliance, Bosun Tijani said it “reinforces our commitment to building an open, inclusive, and collaborative digital ecosystem,” while the alliance’s CEO, Liv Marte Nordhaug, noted that embedding DPGs would “strengthen digital infrastructure while improving service delivery.”
