FCTA approves N2.1 billion contracts for FCT as FCT-IRS gets N242.8 million for Microsoft license 

The FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike disclosed the recent total approvals on Thursday via his official Facebook page.

“Yesterday,  I presided over the Federal Capital Territory Executive Committee (EXCO) meeting, where contracts totaling the sum of N2,183,399,860 were approved,” he stated.

The procurement of Microsoft 365 license for the FCT Internal Revenue Service, also featured as part of the contracts recently approved, according to a NAN report.

“So, this is also one of those investments in technology that the FCT is undertaking. 

“The license 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 executive chairman stressed that the move would help reduce the use of paper and ensure better records keeping through the storage of information and documents in the cloud.

Additionally, he assured that the license would essentially enhance the revenue agency’s operations and assist in generating revenue for the development of the FCT under Wike’s leadership.

Wike had assured residents of facilitating developments in the state and making its agencies work.

Two months back, the Federal Government invested over N89.2 billion in infrastructure and schools in Bwari, Federal Capital Territory (FCT), over the past 12 months.

This investment, as disclosed by the FCT Minister, includes significant road projects and the rehabilitation of key educational facilities.
