A strategic relationship has been established between the Ministry of Digital Economy, Science and Technology Edo State, Nigeria, and INTMAX, the leading Ethereum Layer 2 solution developer. Nigerian pressure on the crypto market coincides with this partnership, highlighting Edo State’s dedication to innovation and digital development.

Through this relationship, INTMAX will have a great chance to collaborate directly with the Edo State Government and build a solid presence across a range of government parastatals. The collaboration’s main goal is to increase Edo State’s ability to use cutting-edge protocols and technologies for improved governance and service delivery by strengthening the state’s digital ecosystem.

Government representatives, civil servants, technologists, blockchain developers, and other players in the digital economy will find the relationship especially pertinent. By working with INTMAX, Edo State hopes to lead the way in digital transformation and inspire other regions to do the same.

Even if regulatory pressure forced a number of cryptocurrency initiatives to exit the Nigerian market, Edo State’s commitment to fostering blockchain innovation is evident in its collaboration with INTMAX. The state acknowledges the potential of blockchain technology to improve the efficiency and transparency of the way important government services are administered.

The Honourable Commissioner for the Ministry of Digital Economy, Science and Technology Edo state, Hon Ifaluyi Isibor said:

“We look forward to working with INTMAX to develop practical solutions that will enhance Edo State’s ability to deliver key services. This partnership provides us access to a secure and low-cost network that can be used for everything from payments to record-keeping, and we’re confident that the collaboration will yield tangible results while showing that Nigeria remains receptive to blockchain technology.”

Clarification: It is crucial to know that neither the Edo State government nor any of its delegates own any cryptocurrency under INTMAX control. The state’s efforts for digital transformation and capacity development are the only goals of this collaboration.
