Anambra unveils AI assistant to ease access to government services

The Anambra State government in Nigeria has introduced an AI-powered digital assistant named NORA, alongside a digital Anambra Handbook, aimed at enhancing citizen engagement and access to government services. The tools, launched by the Anambra State Information and Communication Technology Agency, serve as a centralized gateway connecting residents, businesses, and stakeholders to live digital platforms, ministries, and agency websites, addressing key service areas across the state.

Anambra ICT Agency CEO Chukwuemeka Agbata highlighted that NORA was developed over a year to understand the unique context of Anambra's government, institutions, and people, and is expected to streamline access to public services, improve transparency, and accelerate the state's shift towards technology-driven governance.
