In July, the ministry put out a call for volunteers with a strong design background to join the endeavour by NITDA, the official Government body that promotes and regulates the deployment of ICT in Nigeria, to co-create a design system and visual templates for all MDAs. “This platform will provide guidance and code to help MDAs design and build accessible, government websites,” the open call announcement noted.
