The Ministry of Housing and Urban Development has announced that it has stopped accepting paper memos, stating that it will only receive memos via the Electronic Content Management System (ECMS).
The ministry notified its internal and external stakeholders in a statement signed by Mr. Badamasi Haiba, Director of Information and Public Relations, in Abuja. Haiba mentioned that the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, Dr. Shuaib Belgore, made the announcement, indicating that the move follows the launch of the ECMS in the ministry.
“With the ECMS now in place, it is expected to facilitate routine office operations in the ministry, facilitate faster decision-making, and provide timely access to relevant content,” he explained.
The system will enhance information accessibility, enable document tracking, ensure compliance with audit trails, and provide secure, remote access to documents. Dr. Marcus Amiolemen, the Head of the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Department, stated that staff members have undergone training on the use of the ECMS to improve service delivery and operational efficiency across all departments.
The ministry’s official ECMS email addresses for formal correspondence include:
- Office of the Honourable Minister, Housing and Urban Development: hmregistry@fmhud.gov.ng
- Office of the Honourable Minister of State for Housing and Urban Development: hmsregistry@fmhud.gov.ng
- Office of the Permanent Secretary: psregistry@fmhud.gov.ng
The official launch of the ECMS in the ministry marks a significant step in its digital transformation.
