The Institute of Information Management (IIM) has unveiled an improved and efficient mode of access to quality information it called Data Access Intervention Initiative (DAII). The programme, according to the president and chairman, governing council, IM, Dr. Oyedokun Oyewole, is part of its core aim at providing solutions to data and records security,as well as improving access to information for effective service delivery in the society.
He said this will enable organisations, policy makers and technology developers to experience enhanced access to data, utilisation, knowledge sharing and reach well informed decisions.
He said: “With DAII, individuals and organisations will be able to access reliable and accurate information to meet their information needs. DAII is ultimately expected to facilitate industry movement, to connect citizens to various sectors like health care, education, real estate and so on.”
The official launch of the intervention programme is slated as part of the agenda for the forthcoming induction and investiture ceremony dated August 1 at the main auditorium, University of Lagos.
The programme themed Information Management as a Tool for Economic Recovery and Business Recovery in Nigeria will address the vital need for government to focus on the role played by information management in raising the country’s economic bar and meeting information needs.
Dr.Oyewole noted that the success of the administration on good governance and effective delivery of campaign promises, depend on appropriate information management.
He further urged the government to gear up its level of commitment to increasing transparency and access to information, by ensuring that appropriate resources are utilised to facilitate data and information sharing among the various government agencies. He also stressed the need for government to ensure that all agencies are accountable for service delivery through proper scrutiny of necessary preparations and choices which shape their plans.
