The National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI) has won the 2025/2026 Best Federal MDAs Digital Transformation Award at the 8th Nigeria E-Government Summit and Awards.
NASENI emerged as the winner with 57.4 per cent of the votes cast in its category, ahead of the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC), which polled 25.6 per cent, and the Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS), which received 16.9 per cent.
The award was presented on September 10, 2026, at the Radisson Blu Hotel, Ikeja, Lagos.
The agency’s Director of Information, New Media and Protocol, Segun Ayeoyenikan, who represented its Executive Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Khalil Suleiman Halilu, at the award dinner, attributed the recognition to the ongoing digitalisation of NASENI’s administrative and operational systems.
Ayeoyenikan said the agency had adopted digital processes to improve efficiency and productivity, adding that its Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system was part of the transformation.
‘NASENI is at the forefront of promoting the culture that all governance systems in Nigeria become digitised,’ he said.
‘At NASENI, you don’t see papers anymore. The offices and all our tables are cleared of papers. We have digitised not only administration, but all our operations.’
The convener of the summit and awards, Lanre Ajayi, said 33,785 Nigerians voted in the selection of winners, with measures put in place to prevent multiple voting.
The Nigeria E-Government Summit and Awards is an annual platform focused on digital governance and the delivery of government services.
