KASITDA DG Visits Kano State Ministry of Health to Advance Digital Transformation Agenda
The Director-General of the Kano State Information and Communication Technologies Development Agency (KASITDA), Dr. Bashir Abdu Muzakkari, today paid a strategic working visit to the Kano State Ministry of Health as part of ongoing sectoral engagements aimed at accelerating the digitalization of critical sectors across the state.
The visit forms part of the implementation of the Kano State Digital Transformation Agenda 2025–2030, a flagship initiative of the administration of His Excellency, Abba Kabir Yusuf, designed to modernize public service delivery through innovative technology and digital infrastructure.
During the meeting, Dr. Muzakkari emphasized the importance of leveraging digital technologies to improve healthcare administration, enhance data management, strengthen decision-making, and ultimately deliver better health outcomes for citizens of Kano State.
He noted that the engagement with the Ministry of Health is a significant step toward the realization of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf’s vision of a digitally enabled government that is efficient, transparent, and responsive to the needs of the people.
It will be recalled that KASITDA recently secured an investment of ₦7 billion to support the digitization of three key sectors in Kano State: the Kano State Urban Planning and Development Authority (KNUPDA), the Kano State Judiciary, and the Kano State Ministry of Health.
The investment is expected to provide cutting-edge digital solutions, strengthen institutional capacity, and establish robust information systems that will improve service delivery and governance across the selected sectors.
Officials of the Ministry of Health commended KASITDA for its commitment to driving innovation in the public sector and expressed readiness to collaborate closely with the agency to ensure the successful implementation of the digital health transformation initiative.
The sectoral visits are part of KASITDA’s broader mandate to coordinate and implement the digital transformation agenda of the Kano State Government, positioning the state as a leading hub for digital governance and innovation in Nigeria.
