Our vision
A connected, capable and inclusive Nigeria in which people, institutions and communities can use dependable services and opportunities to improve quality of life and participate in economic development.
Progress begins with useful connections.
A national umbrella connecting innovation, institutional capability and locally relevant delivery.
Technology with a clear public purpose.
SNI brings people, institutions and partners around practical improvements to services, access and opportunity.
Coordinated through CIE Nigeria, the initiative provides a common direction for sector programmes and state initiatives. Each programme must define its users, responsible institutions, resources and support arrangements.
A more connected and capable Nigeria.
Our mission
Coordinate locally relevant smart initiatives that combine institutional capability, useful technology, practical support and accountable partnerships. Build from demonstrated needs and use evidence to decide what to improve, sustain or expand.
Our principles
People and service needs come first. Local ownership must be explicit. Inclusion, accessibility and affordability shape design. Information access follows defined roles. Costs and support extend beyond launch. Public claims reflect verified evidence. Programmes proceed at the scale that responsible teams can support.
An umbrella with clear relationships.
