FCTA Approves N242.8m for Microsoft 365 Licence to Digitise FCT-IRS

Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has approved N242.8m for the procurement of a Microsoft 365 licence for its Internal Revenue Service (FCT-IRS) as part of efforts to digitise the service’s operations.

Mr Michael Ango, acting executive chairman of FCT-IRS, disclosed this after the FCT Executive Committee meeting chaired by Mr Nyesom Wike, the minister of FCTA,  in Abuja on Wednesday.

Ango said that the FCTA was making significant investments in technology to enhance revenue generation and collection.

“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,” Ango said.

The executive chairman explained that the move would also reduce the use of paper and ensure better record-keeping through the storage of information and documents in the cloud.

He added that  “The licence will essentially enhance our operations and assist us in generating revenue for the development of the FCT under Wike’s leadership.”
