Nigeria's CCT urged to adopt digital technology
Nigeria’s Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume, has consistently urged the Code of Conduct Tribunal to adopt digital technology to improve case management, records administration, and overall efficiency, aligning with the government’s broader digital transformation drive. The calls came during courtesy visits by CCT leadership, including Chairman Dr. Mainasara Umar Kogo, to Akume’s Abuja office, underscoring the tribunal’s constitutional role in policing breaches of the Code of Conduct and its place in the anti-corruption framework. Akume tied the push for tech-enabled justice to the Tinubu administration’s reform agenda, emphasizing institutional strengthening, public-sector efficiency, integrity, and adherence to the rule of law, while urging greater collaboration with ministries, departments, and agencies. He also highlighted the need for enhanced public enlightenment, training, and enforcement to accompany digital upgrades and noted that modernizing institutions will improve service delivery and inter-agency coordination. The repeated emphasis across multiple statements and outlets signals a coordinated stance that digital transformation is central to Nigeria’s plan to rebuild trust, boost investor confidence, and sustain efforts against corruption. The exchanges reflect a broader push to integrate technology across key state institutions as part of the Renewed Hope Agenda and ongoing governance reforms.
