The newly established Abuja-based Data Governance Institute of Nigeria (DGISI) is likely to face several challenges in its operation. One major challenge would be the lack of infrastructure, including inadequate buildings, office equipment, and personnel to man the facilities. Another challenge could be the resistance from civil servants who may be skeptical of the new agency's ability to effectively manage and control data. Additionally, the DGISI will also face difficulties in developing and implementing effective data management policies and standards for a country with a large and diverse population.
