The Anambra State government is stepping up efforts to ensure Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) are not left behind in the state’s digital transformation agenda.

Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Anambra State ICT Agency, Chukwuemeka Fred Agbata, said the Soludo administration is committed to removing barriers that limit PWDs’ access to government services.

He spoke during an advocacy visit to his office by the Anambra State Disability Rights Commission (ADRC) in partnership with the Rule of Law and Anti-Corruption (RoLAC) programme.

Agbata explained that deliberate inclusion is central to the governor’s technology-driven vision for the state, noting that the ADRC had recently been equipped with a range of digital tools designed to boost their efficiency and productivity.

He stressed that the government’s goal is to create a digitally inclusive environment where every resident, regardless of ability, can benefit from governance.

“Technology is only truly impactful when it works for everyone, regardless of physical ability.

We are committed to removing digital barriers and making our platforms accessible to all residents of Anambra State,” he said.

CFA also disclosed that the Agency will take immediate steps to appoint a Disability Desk Officer, work with the commission to ensure that all government ICT platforms are designed to meet accessibility standards, and as well as  incorporate PWD-friendly features into ongoing upgrades of the SolutionLens feedback platform.

The visit also featured presentations from ADRC’s Head of ICT, Mr. Bonaventure Umeokwonna, who outlined the Commission’s priorities, and RoLAC representatives, who pledged continued support for building capacity and strengthening the policy framework for inclusion.

The Anambra State ICT Agency continues to work closely with ministries, departments, and agencies to deepen digital transformation in the state, ensuring that no segment of society is left behind.
