National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) was created in April 2001 to implement the Nigerian Information Technology Policy and co-ordinate general IT development in the country.
It was mandated by the National Information Technology Development Act (2007) to create a framework for the planning, research, development, standardization, application, coordination, monitoring, evaluation and regulation of Information Technology practices, activities and systems in Nigeria.
Its role therefore is to develop Information technology in the country through regulatory standards, guidelines and policies. Additionally, NITDA is the clearing house for all IT projects and infrastructure development in the country. It is the prime Agency for e-government implementation, Internet governance and general IT development in Nigeria.
NITDA hereby invites interested Information Technology firms to formerly apply for the services of young graduate interns who have completed a 3 month technical training on software development optimised for various sectors of the economy.
The placement is part of the overall programme of the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT to empower the young IT graduate with software development skills, business incubation and mentor-ship. The graduate intern will work for the IT firm while the Government pays.
