Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (OSGF) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI) towards modernising Nigeria’s governance processes.
A statement issued by Director of Information and Public Relations, Segun Imohiosen, explained that the partnership aims to completely digitalise the Federal Executive Council (FEC) activities, transitioning to a fully paperless operation through the Cabinet Affairs Office (CAO), which coordinates FEC functions.
At the signing ceremony, the Permanent Secretary of the Cabinet Affairs Office, Emanso Umobong, represented the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume.

Umobong hailed the initiative as pivotal for improving government efficiency, stating: “Digitalisation of the Cabinet Affairs Office will significantly ease the burden on Honourable Ministers, who currently have to handle voluminous documents during council meetings.”
He highlighted past milestones, noting, “in December 2024, we achieved real-time transcription of Council proceedings. This next phase will fully digitalise all processes. By December 2025, we are confident that the Federal Executive Council will operate completely paperless, and we are grateful to NASENI for partnering with us to make this a reality.”
The Executive Vice Chairman and CEO, NASENI, Khalil Halilu, reiterated the agency’s readiness and experience in digital transformation.
“NASENI has successfully transitioned to a fully digitalised system. We are poised to replicate this transformation within the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation,” he said.
