The Arewa Professional Forum (APF) has advocated for the Nigerian Federal Government to accelerate digital governance and paperless administration across all ministries, departments, and agencies. The forum highlighted existing reforms, such as the Enterprise Content Management system and the 1-GOV Cloud Platform, as essential tools for improving transparency and accountability.

Following these calls for reform, the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation has moved into an implementation phase. An 11-member Technical Working Committee has been inaugurated to create a roadmap for a coordinated digital ecosystem. Additionally, digital transformation efforts have expanded to the state level in Ekiti, where a partnership with the United Kingdom aims to strengthen the digital economy through institutional reforms and the development of innovation hubs.
