Nigeria is advancing efforts to modernize its public service through a new partnership between fintech company Flutterwave and the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation aimed at strengthening digital capabilities across government institutions.

The collaboration will see the deployment of Flutterwave’s financial technology solutions to support improved payment systems, operational efficiency, and broader digital service delivery within the civil service.

Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Flutterwave, Olugbenga Agboola, said the initiative reflects the importance of alignment between the public and private sectors in building Nigeria’s digital future.

As part of the partnership, civil servants will benefit from training and upskilling programmes in areas including data analytics and cyber awareness, alongside mentorship and knowledge-sharing initiatives designed to strengthen institutional capacity.

The collaboration is positioned as a long-term effort to build stronger public institutions, enhance digital service delivery, and equip government personnel with the tools required for a more connected and efficient public sector.

Officials say the initiative forms part of broader national efforts to accelerate digital transformation within government operations and improve service delivery through technology-driven solutions.
