Danish government software provider cBrain announced on January 14 a partnership with Nigerian technology firm Publica AI to deploy its F2 digital platform across Nigeria’s federal ministries and agencies. The standardized solution combines case management, automated workflows, and embedded artificial intelligence, offering an off-the-shelf tool designed to speed up administrative modernization.

Publica AI, the local partner, will be responsible for implementation and for adapting the platform to Nigeria’s regulatory requirements. According to Publica AI Chief Executive Officer Willie Ignatius, the partnership brings together international expertise and local knowledge, ensuring that sovereign data remains hosted in Nigeria while providing world-class technology.

cBrain’s F2 platform is a commercial off-the-shelf solution specifically designed for government use. It delivers the core capabilities required for digital government, reducing reliance on custom development and lengthy IT projects. The platform includes case management, integrated workflows, self-service functions, registries for citizens and businesses, mass operation capabilities to handle large volumes of cases, and on-site embedded AI.

The rollout of F2 in Nigeria is part of cBrain’s broader African strategy, which has already been tested in Kenya. Nigeria’s selection reflects its market size and growing demand for accessible digital public services. With a population of more than 200 million, the country represents a key market for digital government development in Africa. Nigerian authorities have set a target to digitize 75% of public services by 2027.

Beyond administrative efficiency, the partnership aims to support Nigeria’s digital economy by improving access to public services and strengthening transparency and accountability within institutions. It also represents a strategic opportunity for cBrain to expand its African footprint while leveraging international standards to develop a model that can be replicated in other countries across the continent.
