NITDA NSDG 2026Nigeria
NITDA National Software Development Guideline (April 2026) and Standards and Guidelines for Government Websites
NITDA guideline for all software developed or modified for Nigerian government institutions (applications, systems and platforms), requiring WCAG 2.1 compliance as part of IT Project Clearance. NITDA’s government website guidelines separately tell institutions to adopt WCAG without naming a version. The text names WCAG 2.1 without a conformance level; this profile uses Level AA as the benchmark - change it if the client targets another level.
