Will African governments and her regulators be architects of the future or victims of it?Trust in Nigeria government and indeed most African countries has been on a steady decline for dacades. The complexity and difficulty in understanding the diverse processes of government make it difficult to comprehend what is actually happening within. It is this opaque and complex nature of many government programs/ processes that leads to real or perceived corruption and abuse of power? It's time to put it all on the blockchain!

Blockchain-based solutions has the potential to make government operations at different levels more efficient, increase citizen participation in governance and improve the delivery of public services, while simultaneously

Welcome to Abuja Blockchain & Digital Assets Conference 2019

increasing overall trust in the public sector.The need for oversight & control makes public sector administrations excessively high & labor-intensive.Smart contracts combined with intelligent/ process automation & blockchain's ability to store transactions in open, immutable and accountable ways mean that government become more effective!

This is the reason why we chose “Blockchain Trust-Architecture for Governance and Public Service Delivery” as the agenda of this year's conference.

In almost every country in the world, governmental administrative systems are based on 19th century antiquated centralized, hierarchical bureaucratic structures. These systems are outdated and no longer reflects the digital, high-speed world we live in.

It's time to go forward!

A new vision for government is needed; one based on new disinter-mediating technologies. Blockchain, plus other 4iR technologies, can provide the system for agile, efficient, secure, and high-performing governance that can radically change our expectations, perception and satisfaction with government apparatuses.Areas in which Nigeria government could use blockchain include supply chain, health records, court records, transportation, voting, energy, taxation, land titles, tokenizing engagement with citizens and digital currencies.

The Blockchain Products Exhibitions are proofs that the technology works and has come to stay.Our Blockchain4good Hackathon tasks our bourgeoning youths to create real-life blockchain solutions.

Remember that what you put in is what will determine what you get out. Network, Learn, Connect, Collaborate and succeed!

The revolution will not be televised!

The National Information Technology development Agency (NITDA) is the official government body that develops and regulates Information Technology in Nigeria. As part of NITDA's mandate to regulate emerging technologies, NITDA has initiated a project to develop a Blueprint and National Strategy for application of Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT)/Blockchain Technology in Nigeria. The main objective of the project is to assist the Agency in developing business friendly and acceptable regulatory instrument for use of this emerging technology. These regulatory instruments are expected to put into consideration all requirements to ensure healthy use of the technology for services across sectors. In order to achieve this, NITDA wishes to engage all stakeholders in the ecosystem in various capacity to achieve a wider range of contribution towards achieving a national blueprint.

NITDA Project on development of a Blueprint and National Strategy on Application of Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT)/Blockchain Technology in Nigeria

The IT industry is evolving rapidly with revolutionary changes being witnessed every year. New discoveries of emerging technologies are being made for businesses to dwell upon. The private sector especially financial services companies are the earliest adopters of most emerging technologies, while government is behind in the curve.With business technology rapidly advancing, companies stand to gain competitive edge if they can stay current on IT trends that drive effectiveness. As emerging technologies such as DLT/Blockchain drive new business and service models, governments need to equally create and enforce regulations to protect citizens and ensure fair markets while letting innovation and business flourish.

The Nigerian government, through NITDA is inclined to employ its statutory responsibility towards emerging technologies to come up with corresponding regulatory instruments for a healthy ecosystem.DLT/Blockchain Technology is one of the emerging discoveries in recent times.The technology is getting popular as a quarter of large enterprises are venturing into blockchain, a figure expected to jump to more than 50% by 2020. For the government, the concern hasbeen on how the technology can be used to foster healthy growth of nation's economy and safety. There is need to have the right regulatory instruments and implementation strategy for the government to be able to guide adoption of the technology by the public.

About NITDA
