Looking forward to seeing this transform our addressing system in Nigeria! 🇳🇬
Excellent initiative, Minister @bosuntijani! This digital postcode system is a crucial infrastructure upgrade for our digital economy.
To maximize impact, I'd recommend enablement at the local government level—automatically allocating postcodes to all numbered houses...1/2
FEC APPROVES ALPHANUMERIC DIGITAL POSTCODE SYSTEM FOR NIGERIA
As part of our continued delivery on the targets and priorities set out in the @FMCIDENigeria Strategic Blueprint, I am pleased to announce that the Federal Executive Council under the leadership of H.E. President @officialABAT, GCFR has today approved the implementation of a GIS-enabled Alphanumeric Digital Postcode System for Nigeria.
Working in collaboration with @PMG_NIPOST Tola Odeyemi and her team at @NipostNgn, who worked hard on delivering this, we will introduce a modern, geospatial intelligent addressing system that improves accuracy across the country and enables faster and more reliable mail and parcel processing.
Beyond strengthening postal operations, the Digital Postcode System will also serve as an important national enabler supporting better national planning, improved emergency response, more efficient logistics and e-commerce, and the delivery of government services.
As our digital economy continues to grow, foundational systems such as this play an essential role in building the infrastructure required to connect people, businesses, and services more efficiently across the country.
This approval represents another step forward in our commitment to building the enabling environment to support a modern, inclusive, and globally competitive digital economy.

If the British politician operated with impunity, it was because others let him, @duncanrobinson writes. His friendship with Jeffrey Epstein was well-known. But it was brushed over https://t.co/D8zFkaNykm
Leaders don't just approve projects they champion them.
Executive sponsorship = higher success rates.
This week: Pick ONE digital initiative to sponsor personally this quarter.
Show up. Remove barriers. Lead from the front.

I'm more concerned about changing this narrative (especially freeing the LGAs from the shackles of the Governors, driving political accountability from the grassroots) than focusing on who is going to be the President in 2027! This (IMO), is the way towards a better Nigeria.
@OgbeniDemola So enlightening... I read this book in 2010 (for a history course), I have never seen the developed countries as having the absolute interest in developing Africa since then.
If you can, add "The Scramble for Africa" by Thomas Pakenham to the read too.
@diaryofa9jagirl I don't think this should be considered a 'nice to have' in any organisation today. Any organisation lacking this should be called out for being inhumane.
I used to be ultra-capitalist, seeing resources and people as just numbers that you move around to achieve better financial outcomes. Then, one day in Uganda, I saw riots in the streets during downtime while we were upgrading a telco's payment platform. Impact on lives was real.
Excited to announce that our co-founder, Oreoluwa Olaitan, will be speaking at STEM Africa Fest Lagos Masterclass on July 20th, 2024! at the Landmark Centre, Victoria Island, Lagos.

Considering the weight of NIN, the risk that a recycled number poses to the initial owner is so enormous (e.g. exposure to Bank Accounts) especially when the owner is not in Nigeria for 360 days.

Hello Minister @bosuntijani,
I'm curious to know as a concerned citizen, why are the Mobile Network Operators still allowed to recycle people's numbers now that the numbers are linked with NIN? This is a serious flaw with so many implications. Please educate us.
@OPay_NG A frustrated User! My account has been restricted for some months because you want me to provide Biz Docs for a personal account & have failed to rectify it after several emails and chat with your Customer service team to no avail.
