The Anambra State ICT Agency has launched the Anambra Digital Handbook, showcasing a vast, coordinated digital asset that simplifies governance and public accessibility through assistance from AI called Nora.
Addressing journalists, the Managing Director of the Anambra State ICT Agency, Chukwuemeka Fred Agbata (CFA), said that Anambra has created a system and digital assistance that highlights Governor Soludo’s giant footprints on Anambra’s digital landscape. However, he also noted that a lot of work is still ongoing to sharpen the gains already made while exploring more. “What we have done in the past year is to create a digital system…Nora is the digital assistant we have built for the State…we have a team that has been building and training Nora. We are here to unveil to you the Anambra digital system…people can see what the Governor, through the ICT Agency, is doing. Anambra is truly the first digital State,” CFA assured.
The digital system was tested, and the AI assistant attended to all questions and demands made by various users. Every inquiry, complaint, and information can now be assessed through the Anambra State website, www.anambrastate.gov.ng, housing all MDAs and Anambra State Government service providers.
With 35 live platforms and 14 services on board the platform, and a 24-hour digital AI assistant, residents and other interested persons are encouraged to explore Anambra with ease, leveraging the digital system.
Mr. Agbata also revealed that “the ICT Agency is fully automated,” although he noted that there is a Nora AI that is used internally and another used externally. This, he said, calling on Ndi Anambra to utilize the digitized and simplified access.
