He emphasized NASENI's commitment to promoting a digitized governance system across Nigeria, noting that the agency has moved away from paper-based operations, with offices and workstations free of paperwork. Lanre Ajayi, the convener of the summit and awards, revealed that 33,785 Nigerians participated in the voting process, with measures in place to prevent multiple voting.
