The National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) has reorganised the process of registering and certifying indigenous Information Technology (IT) Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). NITDA will henceforth mandate quality after-sales-support, as a significant part of the registration and certification process and as a mandatory part of the operations of indigenous OEMs. We also urge all customers to demand current NITDA certification before devices are purchased from indigenous OEMs.”Pantami pointed out that other entities that desire to assemble and sell IT devices in the country should also apply to the Agency for registration and certification. The certification process are issued and implemented pursuant to Section 6 of the NITDA Act 2007. It is also to render advisory services in all information technology matters to the public and private sectors,” he stated.
