The Anambra State ICT Agency has unveiled the Digital Anambra Handbook 2026, a digital directory designed to connect residents to government services through a centralised platform.
The Handbook provides access to 35 live digital platforms, 29 ministry and agency websites, and 14 service areas covering healthcare, justice, revenue, transportation, infrastructure, business development, grievance reporting, youth development and other public services.
The launch, which showcased the state government’s expanding digital transformation initiatives, featured NORA (Neural Operations and Response Assistant), an artificial intelligence-powered assistant that appeared live to anchor the press briefing.
NORA’s live interaction with the audience demonstrated how artificial intelligence could support the delivery of more accessible, connected and responsive government services, drawing reactions from journalists, stakeholders and other guests at the event.
Speaking at the briefing, Chukwuemeka Fred Agbata, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Anambra State ICT Agency, fielded questions from journalists and attendees, providing insights into the Agency’s digital transformation efforts and the role of technology in improving public service delivery.
The Digital Anambra Handbook is expected to make it easier for residents to discover and access government platforms without having to navigate multiple websites independently.
By bringing together digital services across ministries, departments and agencies, the initiative also provides a central access point for citizens seeking information and interacting with government institutions.
The introduction of NORA further highlights the state’s interest in deploying emerging technologies, particularly artificial intelligence, to improve citizens’ engagement with government services.
