The Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (OSGF) has reaffirmed its commitment to the complete digitisation of records and administrative processes to strengthen digital governance and improve service delivery across federal institutions.
Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Senator George Akume, gave the assurance in Abuja during the flag-off of the 1-Government (1Gov) Cloud Enterprise Content Management System (ECMS), inaugurated by the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation (HCSF), Dr. Didi Esther Walson-Jack.
Akume stated that the initiative aligns with the Federal Civil Service Strategy and Implementation Plan (FCSIP 2025) and is expected to enhance efficiency, transparency, and faster decision-making in government operations.

He explained that as the coordinating centre of national policies and programmes, the OSGF requires an integrated digital system to manage official records, workflows, and inter-ministerial communications.
“The adoption of the ECMS will provide a secure and centralised platform for processing documents, improving accuracy, data tracking, and the overall speed of government business,” the SGF said.
In her remarks, the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Dr. Didi Esther Walson-Jack, commended the OSGF for embracing the reform, noting that paper-based processes can no longer support the pace and demand of modern governance. She added that the platform enables electronic approvals, automated workflows, and enhances accountability across Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs).
“With the deployment of the ECMS on the One Gov Cloud platform, records become easier to manage, more secure, and accessible when needed. This marks a shift from manual documentation to a fully digital process that drives productivity and results,” she stated.
The ECMS rollout forms part of federal reforms aimed at strengthening digital public service delivery and improving operational performance across government institutions nationwide.
