Following the launch of Electronic Content Management System (ECMS), Ministry of Housing and Urban Development, has stopped accepting paper memos in its operations.
To this effect, the Permanent Secretary, Dr. Shuaib Belgore, has announced that the ministry will no longer accept memos, letters, or proposals submitted on paper.
“With the ECMS now in place, it is expected to facilitate the routine office operations in the ministry, facilitate faster decision-making and timely access to relevant content by enhancing information accessibility, enable document tracking, ensure compliance with audit trails, and provide secure, remote access to documents” Belgore explained
Confirming this, Head of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Department, Dr. Marcus Amiolemen, noted that staff members of the ministry have undergone training on the use of ECMS, which was aimed at improving service delivery and operational efficiency across all departments.
Recall that last week, Federal Government gave a directive to all Ministries Departments and Agencies (MDAs) to go paperless with a view to strengthening the efficiency of their operations. In compliance with that, Federal Ministry of Housing and Urban Development promised to go live with its ECMS.
