The Anambra State ICT Agency has reiterated its commitment to building a digitally inclusive environment where Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) can access and benefit from government services without barriers.
The pledge was made when the Anambra State Disability Rights Commission (ADRC), in partnership with the Rule of Law and Anti-Corruption (RoLAC) programme, paid an advocacy visit to the Agency’s headquarters.
Managing Director/CEO of the ICT Agency, Chukwuemeka Fred Agbata, noted the Soludo administration’s determination to make governance work for all, including PWDs.
He said intentional inclusion remains central to the Governor’s technology-driven vision for the state, adding that the Commission recently received a range of digital tools to enhance its productivity.
“Technology is only truly impactful when it works for everyone, regardless of physical ability. We are committed to removing digital barriers and making our platforms accessible to all residents of Anambra State,” Agbata said.
He also disclosed that the Agency will appoint a Disability Desk Officer, work with the Commission to ensure all government ICT platforms meet accessibility standards, and incorporate PWD-friendly features into ongoing upgrades of the SolutionLens feedback platform.
During the visit, ADRC’s Head of ICT, Bonaventure Umeokwonna, outlined the Commission’s priorities, while RoLAC representatives pledged continued support to build capacity and strengthen the policy framework for inclusion.
Valentine Nwachukwu, head of Planning, Research and Statistics at the Commission, gave the vote of thanks, commending the ICT Agency’s openness to collaboration.
The Anambra State ICT Agency continues to work closely with ministries, departments, and agencies to deepen digital transformation across the state, ensuring no segment of society is left behind.
