The Federal Government’s drive toward a fully digital and data-driven public service gained fresh momentum on Thursday as the Minister of Labour and Employment, Muhammadu Maigari Dingyadi, officially launched the Ministry’s 1Government Enterprise Content Management System (ECMS) in Abuja.
This comes ahead of the December 31, 2025, deadline set by the federal government for full digital adoption across all ministries and extra-ministerial departments.
Speaking during the unveiling, Dingyadi described the Ministry’s transition to the 1Gov Cloud as a “decisive leap toward a fully digital, automation-driven and data-centric public service.”
He said the new platform introduces an end-to-end workflow system designed to eliminate manual bottlenecks, shorten approval cycles, and significantly boost service delivery across all units.
According to him, the ECMS ensures secure document management from creation and storage to retrieval and long-term archiving, while maintaining full compliance with federal data governance rules.
The Minister stressed that digital transformation is not just a technical shift but a cultural one, calling for continuous capacity building to equip officers to use the platform effectively.
Dingyadi also commended the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, the Ministry’s Permanent Secretary, Directors, the implementation team, and Galaxy Backbone Limited for sustaining national momentum toward digital governance.
Representing the Managing Director of Galaxy Backbone Limited, Executive Director for Customer Centricity & Marketing, Hon. Olusegun Olulade, said the 1Gov Cloud provides a unified and secure digital backbone for government operations.
He explained that the platform integrates collaboration tools, workflow automation and secure access systems that will enable ministries to work with greater clarity and consistency.
Olulade affirmed that the Ministry of Labour and Employment has the institutional capacity to fully maximize the 1Gov Cloud ecosystem, adding that the company will continue to support other MDAs as they migrate to the platform.
