Anambra State Government has intensified efforts to strengthen digital governance with the statewide adoption of its official government email domain, @anambrastate.gov.ng, across all Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs).
The Anambra State ICT Agency in a statement by its Communications and Media Lead, Mrs. Angela Nwanodu, noted that the initiative is aimed at ensuring that official government communications are secure, standardised and easily verifiable.
It said the exercise is being coordinated as part of the state’s broader digital transformation agenda.
According to the Agency, the adoption of a unified government email domain would provide the government with a trusted digital identity while protecting official correspondence from impersonation and other cyber security threats.
“The initiative would also enhance accountability and boost public confidence by enabling citizens to easily verify that official communications genuinely originate from the Anambra State Government,” it said.
The Agency noted that the initiative is in line with Nigeria’s National Second Level Domain Policy (2022), adding that the Anambra State Executive Council has already achieved full adoption of the official government email domain.
“The agency is currently coordinating the onboarding of all MDAs across the state, with the migration process covering account provisioning, identity verification, staff sensitisation and technical support.
“The initiative aligns with Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s digital transformation vision of “Everything Technology, Technology Everywhere” and supports the ICT Agency’s roadmap towards becoming an AI-First Native Agency.
“This move represents another step in the state’s drive to modernise public service delivery through the deployment of secure and innovative digital technologies,” the statement reads.
