OSGF, NASENI Partner to Digitalise FEC Processes, Achieve Paperless Governance -

The Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (OSGF) has entered into a partnership with the National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI) to digitalise the processes of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) for a completely paperless operation.

The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed in Abuja through the Cabinet Affairs Office (CAO), which coordinates the activities of the FEC.

Speaking at the signing ceremony, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume, represented by the Permanent Secretary, Cabinet Affairs Office, Dr. Emanso Okop Umobong, described the move as a landmark step toward modernising government operations and improving efficiency in documentation and archiving.

“Digitalisation of the Cabinet Affairs Office will significantly ease the burden on Honourable Ministers, who currently handle voluminous documents during council meetings,” Dr. Umobong said.

“In December 2024, we achieved real-time transcription of Council proceedings. This next phase will fully digitalise all processes. By December 2025, we are confident that the Federal Executive Council will operate completely paperless. We are grateful to NASENI for partnering with us to make this a reality,” he added.

In his remarks, the Executive Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of NASENI, Mr. Khalil Suleiman Halilu, said the agency had successfully transitioned to a fully digital system and was ready to replicate the same transformation at the OSGF.

The partnership reflects the Federal Government’s broader commitment to promoting innovation, operational efficiency, and a modern digital work environment across its institutions.
