Governor Okpebholo Named e-Government Governor of the Year as Edo ICTA and Others Win National Awards

Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpevbolo Governor of EDO STATE, has been named e-Government Governor of the Year for Digital Transformation at the Nigeria e-Government Excellence Awards 2026. The state also received six additional awards recognizing its leadership in digital governance, innovation, and technology-driven public service.

This recognition places Edo State among Nigeria’s top states leveraging digital technology to improve governance, strengthen public institutions, and enhance service delivery to citizens.

The award organizers, in a letter informing Governor Okpebholo of the honor, praised the administration’s dedication to digital transformation and its role in advancing e-governance across the state.

According to the organizers, Governor Okpebholo was chosen after voting closed on August 15, 2026, with 11,361 participants.

Edo State’s success extended beyond the governor’s award, as the state earned victories in multiple categories, including Best State Business Enabling Environment Award; Best State Social Service Digitization Award; Public Sector CEO e-Government (State) Award; State Digital Transformation Champion Award; and Digital Inclusion & Rural Access (Healthcare) Award.

Recognized Edo-based institutions and individuals included the Edo State Health Insurance Commission; Lucky Enemah-Enegbheni; Edo State ICT Agency (Edo ICTA); Edo Healthcare Regulation and Monitoring Agency (EDOHRMA); and Dr.Anthony Osas Okungbowa, honored as Public Sector CIO/CTO of the Year (State).

This achievement also highlights the pivotal role of the Edo State ICT Agency (Edo IctaEdo ICTA) in driving the state’s digital transformation agenda. Under the leadership of Managing Director Mr. Eghosa Ughoride, the agency continues to support the deployment and development of technology initiatives aimed at modernizing government functions and expanding digital access and services.

The multiple awards serve as a strong endorsement of Edo State’s ongoing efforts to create a digitally enabled public sector, foster innovation, and broaden access to technology-based services across the state.

These awards are expected to motivate the state government and its tech agencies to deepen digital transformation efforts in line with Governor Okpebholo’s SHINE Agenda.

Nobody hands you the future. You build it, usually in the gaps after work, before the bills are sorted, in the hour you could've spent scrolling instead.

We see it in Edo State every day. Young people teaching themselves new skills, showing up to trainings, asking the questions nobody else in the room is asking.

On this , we're not here to give a speech about potential. We're here to say: whatever you're building right now, however small it looks keep at it. And when you need the tools, the training, or the room to try, Edo ICTA is one of the doors that's open.
