The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has approved a significant investment of N242.8 million for the procurement of a Microsoft 365 licence aimed at digitising the operations of the Federal Capital Territory Internal Revenue Service (FCT-IRS).
The announcement was made by Mr. Michael Ango, the Acting Executive Chairman of FCT-IRS, following a meeting of the FCT Executive Committee chaired by Minister Nyesom Wike in Abuja on Wednesday.
According to Mr. Ango, the FCTA is committed to making substantial investments in technology to improve the efficiency of revenue generation and collection in the FCT.
“So, this is also one of those investments in technology that the FCT is undertaking. The licence, if procured, will enhance our ability to move most of our manual processes into automated processes. It will enhance our ability to communicate within our offices,” he said.
The Microsoft 365 licence will allow for the automation of many manual processes within the service, improving internal communication and operational efficiency. Additionally, it will help reduce paper usage and improve record-keeping by storing important documents and information in the cloud.
Ango emphasised that the digitisation efforts would also play a key role in improving the FCT-IRS’s operations, ultimately supporting the government’s goal of boosting revenue for the development of the Federal Capital Territory under the leadership of Mr. Wike.
