Ministry Launches Official Website To Digitalise Activities

In line with the digitalisation in the Federal Civil Service, a new web portal has been unveiled by the Federal Ministry of Housing and Urban Development.

A press statement signed by the ministry’s director of information, Badamasi Salisu Haiba, reveals that the domain name of the website which is the first standalone website of the ministry since it was demerged from the former Ministry of Works and Housing is www.fmhud.gov.ng.

Unveiling the website, permanent secretary of the ministry, Dr Marcus Ogunbiyi, acknowledged the efforts of the ICT department in the improvement of the ministry’s internet connectivity, noting that the accomplishments were good steps in the right direction towards digitalisation, which he said is one of the pillars of the Federal Civil Service Strategy and Implementation Plan (FCSSIP 25).

“Digitalisation is part of the ongoing reforms of the nation’s public service so the launch of our ministry’s website is an achievement worth celebrating,” he said.

While directing all departments to always send in their activities to the ICT department for an edit and upload into the website, the permanent secretary also disclosed that more developments which include the creation of an official email with the ministry’s domain name for all staff, as well as the  acquisition of a small power inverter and renewal of the ministry’s reception area among others will be accomplished within the shortest possible time.

The website is also very flexible, easy to access and highly secured,” he said.
