The federal government has launched an artificial intelligence-powered platform to improve access to government information.
Announcing this in a post on X on Thursday, Bosun Tijani, minister of communications, innovation, and digital economy, said the platform, GovGuideNigeria, is available via WhatsApp and the web in English, Hausa, Igbo, and Yoruba.
“Today, we launched #GovGuideNigeria, an AI-powered platform designed to make access to government information simpler, faster, and more inclusive for every Nigerian,” Tijani said.
“Available via WhatsApp and web in English, Hausa, Igbo, and Yoruba, GovGuide provides citizens with easy access to information across more than 35 federal ministries and over 60 government agencies, helping to bridge language and information gaps while improving public service delivery.”
The minister said the initiative reflects the federal government’s commitment to ensuring that technology and AI work for the people, especially underserved and low-literacy communities across the country.
“I appreciate the strong collaboration between the @NCAIRNigeria, @Meta, and @PublicaaiMedia in bringing this important initiative to life,” he said.
“GovGuide demonstrates what is possible when government, the private sector, and local innovators work together to solve real challenges.”
Tijani encouraged Nigerians to take advantage of the platform to access government information and services more conveniently.
