The national software policy is ready for approval, a source at the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) has told THISDAY.
NITDA, the clearing house for IT projects in the Nigerian public sector last year, set up the National Software Policy Committee (NSPC) with members drawn from a broad spectrum of stakeholders to develop a national software policy aimed at providing a blueprint to make Nigeria a competitive country in the area of software development.
THISDAY gathered that this broad spectrum of stakeholders has finally submitted a draft national software policy to the NITDA for possible approval.
The intention of this software policy is to encourage an environment of informed and responsible behaviour that supports the established culture of openness, trust and integrity whilst facilitating effective software asset management and direct foreign investment.
