FCTA to spend N242 million on Microsoft 365 licence for FCT-IRS
The Federal Capital Territory Administration has approved procuring a Microsoft 365 licence for its Internal Revenue Service to digitise its operations.
Michael Ango, acting FCT-IRS executive chairman, disclosed this after the FCT executive committee meeting chaired by FCT minister Nyesom Wike in Abuja on Wednesday.
Mr Ango said the FCTA was investing 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,” he said.
Mr Ango added that the move would reduce paper use and ensure better record-keeping by storing information and documents in the cloud.
According to him, the license will essentially enhance our operations and assist us in generating revenue for the development of the FCT under Mr Wike’s leadership.
