From the Desk of the ES

Welcome to BICTDA

It is with great pride and a deep sense of responsibility that I welcome you to the official website of the Borno State Information and Communication Technology Development Agency (BICTDA). Established on 8 March 2024, our agency was created to spearhead Borno State’s digital transformation and to position our state as a rising technology and innovation hub in the region. At BICTDA, we are committed to building a modern, inclusive, and sustainable digital ecosystem, one that bridges the digital divide and ensures every citizen has access to the opportunities of the digital age. Our mandate goes beyond infrastructure; it encompasses digital literacy, capacity building, innovation support, and the creation of a vibrant technology-driven economy that benefits all. We are working closely with government institutions, local and global partners, and the private sector to enhance e-governance, digital public services, cybersecurity, broadband expansion, and ICT talent development. These efforts are designed to make government services more efficient, transparent, and accessible, while empowering our youth, businesses, and communities with the digital skills and tools they need to thrive. Our mission is simple yet transformative: to harness the power of technology to improve governance, stimulate economic growth, and enhance the overall quality of life for the people of Borno State. As we continue this journey, I invite you to explore our initiatives, collaborate with us, and join hands in shaping a digitally empowered Borno. Together, we can build a smarter, more connected, and more prosperous future. Executive Secretary, Borno State ICT Development Agency (BICTDA)
