The Federal Capital Territory Administration, FCTA, has approved the procurement of Microsoft 365 license for its Internal Revenue Service as part of efforts to digitise the operations of the service.

Acting Executive Chairman, FCT-IRS, Mr Michael Ango, disclosed this after the FCT Executive Committee meeting chaired by the minister, Mr Nyesom Wike, in Abuja.

Ango said that the FCTA was investing significantly in technology to enhance revenue generation and collection.

9News Nigeria reports that part of the statement revealed “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 added that the move would also reduce the use of paper and ensure better records keeping through the storage of information and documents in the cloud.

According to him, the license will essentially enhance our operations and assist us to generate revenue for the development of the FCT under Wike’s leadership.
