ANSICTA unveils Digital Anambra Handbook 2026 - ITREALMS

The Anambra State ICT Agency (ANSICTA) has officially unveiled the Digital Anambra Handbook 2026, a centralized citizen gateway designed to simplify access to public services and deepen e-governance across the state, reports ITREALMS.

Unveiled during a press briefing in Awka on Thursday, the digital compendium connects Ndi Anambra to 35 live digital platforms, 29 ministry and agency websites, and 14 core service areas, spanning healthcare, justice, revenue, transport, infrastructure, business registration, grievance redress, and youth development.

The centerpiece of the unveiling was a live demonstration of NORA (Neural Operations and Response Assistant), the state's newly deployed artificial intelligence virtual guide.

Addressing journalists, stakeholders, and government officials live at the event, NORA anchored segments of the briefing, illustrating how conversational AI capable of interacting in both English and Igbo is streamlining citizen navigation across Anambra’s digital ecosystem.

Speaking during an interactive session with media practitioners and attendees, the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Anambra State ICT Agency, Chukwuemeka Fred Agbata (CFA), noted that the handbook reflects Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s "Everything Technology, Technology Everywhere" policy thrust.

Agbata disclosed that ANSICTA has transitioned to a fully automated, AI-native operational model, explaining that NORA operates in dual capacities—an internal variant optimizing civil service workflows and an external public-facing assistant helping citizens locate services effortlessly.

"We are unveiling the Anambra digital system so citizens can tangibly experience what the administration is building through the ICT Agency," Agbata stated, urging Ndi Anambra, businesses, and diaspora stakeholders to utilize the unified portal for faster, more transparent government interactions.
