Event Summary

The Federal Government of Nigeria soft-launched the Government Service Portal (GSP), a unified digital platform providing citizens and businesses access to multiple government services through a single online gateway. Developed by Galaxy Backbone Limited in partnership with the Nigeria — Federal Ministry of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy and the South Korea — Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA), the portal is a flagship project under Nigeria's e-Government Masterplan 2.0. It aims to reduce bureaucracy, improve transparency, and enhance the ease of doing business. User acceptance testing across Nigeria's six geopolitical zones showed over 80% of participants found the portal user-friendly. The portal will integrate with the Nigerian Digital Exchange for secure information sharing among authorized institutions. Officials urged ministries, departments, and agencies to integrate their services into the platform.
