About the agency

A purpose-built agency for Jigawa's digital decade.

The Jigawa State Information Technology and Digital Economy Agency was established to coordinate digital transformation across the state. Our remit is clear: deliver the infrastructure, services, skills, and policy that move citizens online and government onto modern systems.

We work for the people of Jigawa first. Our progress is measured in institutions onboarded, services digitised, officials trained, and citizens connected, not in announcements.
