Doro stated that the digital innovation aligns squarely with the Renewed Hope Agenda of the administration.
“This innovation aligns squarely with the Renewed Hope Agenda, particularly the administration’s vision to digitize government processes, reduce inefficiencies and make public institutions more responsive to citizens’ needs,” Doro said during the flag-off.
He added that the launch underscored the Ministry’s commitment to transparency and operational excellence in the delivery of humanitarian and poverty reduction services across Nigeria.
The ECMS will facilitate a fully digitized workflow, ensuring timely access to information, efficient document management, and seamless collaboration.
The Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Didi Walson-Jack commended the Ministry’s leadership for embracing the paperless system.
She described the move as a fundamental change in how the Ministry operates.
“The shift to the 1Gov ECMS platform is not just digitalisation, it is a fundamental change in how the Ministry operates. Workflows will now be automated, reliance on paper reduced, and real-time collaboration across teams is now possible,” Walson-Jack stated.
She urged other government agencies to adopt the system and called on the media to disseminate the information that the 19 Ministries now operating ECMS no longer accept paper.
The Managing Director/CEO of Galaxy Backbone, Ibrahim Adeyanju, confirmed that his organisation, the digital infrastructure company of the Federal government, provided the shared infrastructure.
