–Nigeria Records Growth In .ng Domain Adoption

News Highlights:

  • Anambra State’s Digital Leadership Recognized Nationally
  • Agbata’s election strengthens Anambra position in Nigeria’s Digital Ecosystem

Anambra State’s digital momentum has once again attracted national attention, as the Managing Director/CEO of the Anambra State ICT Agency, Mr. Chukwuemeka Fred Agbata, CFA, was elected Financial Secretary of the Executive Board of the Nigeria Internet Registration Association (NiRA), during the 17th Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the association recently held in a hybrid format.

Digital TimesNG reports that NiRA, which manages Nigeria’s country code top-level domain (.ng), convened the AGM with participation from over 325 stakeholders, both physically and virtually.

The meeting offered a strategic review of Nigeria’s evolving digital identity ecosystem and celebrated key achievements—among them, the registration of more than 94,000 new .ng domains and the deployment of DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) to enhance trust and security within the national domain space.

Mr. Agbata’s emergence onto NiRA’s leadership is not just a personal milestone but a significant moment for Anambra State, which has, since the inception of Governor Soludo’s administration, adopted the .anambrastate.gov.ng domain in line with the call for local domain usage.

NiRA’s AGM also spotlighted strategic partnerships with public and private bodies, including the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC) and NITDA, both of which align closely with the state’s ongoing digital transformation journey.

For Anambra, Mr. Agbata’s new role opens even more channels for collaboration and influence as the state continues to position itself as a digital-first government and a model for responsible tech-driven governance in Nigeria.

“Our adoption of the .ng domain is not symbolic. It reflects our belief in building an internet identity that is both Nigerian and secure. I am honoured to serve on NiRA’s board at this critical time,” Mr. Agbata said following his election.

The Anambra State ICT Agency reaffirms its commitment to supporting initiatives that promote a secure, accessible, and resilient digital ecosystem, both locally and nationally.
