Oyetola Unveils Digital Platform To Drive Maritime Transparency

The Federal Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy has unveiled its Enterprise Content Management System (ECMS), marking a significant milestone in the ministry’s digital transformation and institutional reform agenda.

The ECMS was jointly unveiled by the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola, and the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Mrs Didi Esther Walson-Jack, during the ministry’s Fourth Quarter 2025 Stakeholders and Citizens Engagement in Abuja.

Speaking at the event, Oyetola described the engagement as a defining moment in Nigeria’s drive to reposition the marine and blue economy as a critical pillar of economic diversification, growth, and global competitiveness.

He noted that the forum was deliberately designed to deepen transparency, accountability, partnership, and shared ownership of reforms.

Speaking on the launch of the ECMS, the minister described the platform as a strategic investment that goes beyond internal administration to drive efficiency, transparency, accountability, and improved service delivery.

According to him, “A digitally enabled ministry is a more responsive ministry. Through the ECMS, we are streamlining workflows, strengthening records management, improving decision-making, and enhancing our capacity to support investors, operators, and partners with speed, clarity, and integrity.”

In her remarks, the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Walson-Jack, commended the ministry for its far-reaching reforms and notable achievements, particularly the successful go-live of the ECMS.

She described the digital platform as a significant step toward achieving paperless governance, enhanced records management, and faster, more efficient service delivery within the public sector.

According to her, the ECMS will enhance institutional memory, reduce bureaucracy, improve accountability, and align the ministry with the Federal Civil Service’s broader digital transformation agenda.
