Datamellon, a tech firm, has partnered with the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) South-South Zonal Office in a bold move toward improving public service delivery through the adoption of cloud computing and Artificial Intelligence.
The event convened government officials, policy shapers, and technology leaders in Port Harcourt for a high-level strategic conference themed “Reimagining Public Services: Cloud and AI-Driven Innovations.”
It spotlighted how intelligent technology, particularly cloud computing and artificial intelligence, can transform service delivery across public institutions.
Akinwale Akintolu, deputy director in the Zonal Office Coordination Department of the NITDA who delivered the keynote address on behalf of the director general of NITDA, described the conference as “a timely intervention in the public sector’s journey toward intelligence-driven service.”
He added, “As government institutions begin to unlock the transformative power of cloud and AI, we must be deliberate about inclusion, capacity-building, and designing systems that are resilient and locally relevant.”

With a sharp focus on practical innovation and scalable implementation, the conference created space for immersive discourse, hands-on learning, and renewed commitment to digital governance across the South-South region.
It also featured thought-provoking sessions, including technical showcases, interactive discussions, and policy-led engagements, each reinforcing the event’s core purpose and setting a clear agenda for forward-looking public service reform.
The event also underscored Datamellon’s broader vision for powering public sector innovation across Africa. With a strong commitment to collaboration, the company continues to build solutions that help institutions harness cloud technology and artificial intelligence to deliver smarter, faster, and more citizen-focused services.
With participation from AWS, NLNG, NDDC, SMEDAN, and representatives from South-South state governments, the event reinforced a growing consensus across sectors: digital transformation is no longer aspirational; it is operational. Its success depends on the kind of intentional partnerships and strategic dialogues that this event made possible.
