The federal government has introduced the Nigerian Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) framework, a system designed to streamline government services.
Bosun Tijani, minister of communications, innovation, and digital economy, announced the development via X on Tuesday, emphasising its goal of creating an interoperable system that connects key government services.
According to Tijani, the framework adopts a “whole-of-government approach,” eliminating silos in service delivery and enabling ministries, departments, and agencies to operate efficiently within their mandates.
“To achieve a unified approach to delivering digital services across critical life events for Nigerians, I am pleased to announce the release of our Nigerian Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) framework – b.link/DPI-Standards – employing a “whole-of-government approach” and leveraging the private sector’s capabilities to develop services to the public,” he wrote.

“The implementation of this DPI framework will enable the government to support citizens efficiently from birth to legacy, based on a platform of interoperability across all government services.”
The initiative also aims to leverage private sector expertise to enhance public service delivery and ensure digital applications in governance function seamlessly.
Last year, Carl Cruz, the former chief executive officer (CEO) of Airtel Nigeria, urged the government to prioritise DPI development, describing it as the “backbone of any modern society”.
