The Federal Ministry of Works has commenced digital work processes, signaling its transition from analogue operations.
Federal government had through the office of the Head of the Civil Service of the federation, recently launched a digital platform to transition the Civil Service to a paperless operation.
In a statement issued by the Director, Press and Public Relations, Mohammed Ahmed, on Wednesday, said the Ministry has joined MDAs on the 1-GOV Enterprise Content Management (ECM) platform, to ensure a secure, efficient, and fully digital work flows.
During the launch, Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi, represented by the Minister of State, Bello Goronyo, commended the Head of the Civil service for her dedication to institutional reforms and digital transformation.
He described the Ministry’s transition as a thing of joy and pride, pledging the leadership’s full support for the initiative and its successful implementation.
The statement explained that the Head of the Civil Service, Mrs. Didi Walson-Jack, lauded the launch as a demonstration of the Ministry’s readiness to align service delivery with modern, secure, and efficient digital best practices.
She highlighted the Ministry’s critical role in national development, through the planning, construction, reconstruction, expansion, rehabilitation, and maintenance of the Federal road network that connects communities, enables commerce, and facilitates economic growth. “Strengthening its information management systems,” she noted, “is both timely and strategic.”
Walson-Jack commended the Ministry’s leadership for their foresight and shared commitment to a seamless transition. She also praised Directors and staff for their openness to change, saying that “in a sector where records, approvals, and institutional memory are fundamental, the deployment of the ECM solution reinforces professionalism, continuity, and accountability.”
She further emphasised that the migration extends beyond technology, representing a fundamental improvement in how work is organised, decisions are documented, and collaboration is enabled. Furthermore, with its integration into the 1-Gov. Cloud ecosystem, the Ministry is now better positioned to operate seamlessly and securely, in alignment with broader Public Service standards.
