DevsInGovernment September 30th Event - Beyond the Postcode: Building Smarter Government with Location Data

As Nigeria continues to build the digital infrastructure needed for a more connected and efficient government, reliable location data can play an important role in how public services are delivered, how resources are planned and allocated, and how government responds to the needs of citizens. Join us for this special DevsInGovernment session, “Beyond the Postcode: Building Smarter Government with Location Data,” where we’ll explore the technology behind Nigeria’s National Digital Alphanumeric Postcode System and, more importantly, what government can build and achieve with it. Participants will gain insights into: How the Digital Alphanumeric Postcode works and the technology behind it How location data can support service delivery, emergency response, planning and infrastructure Opportunities to integrate location data into government systems and digital products Practical ways government technologists can turn location data into solutions for real public-sector challenges The session will also feature a co-creation exercise, where members of the community will work together to develop practical use cases and explore what can be built using a trusted national location layer. Whether you work in ICT, policy, service delivery or another area of the public sector, this session will give you an opportunity to understand the technology, share ideas and contribute to building smarter government. Kindly note that this community is ONLY for Nigerian civil servants. All attendees are expected to come to the event with their Organisation ID Card for verification.
