President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has expressed his support for new partnerships with global technology companies to ensure that data from public institutions are accurate and transparent in providing templates on which proper public sector planning and accounting can occur across sectors.
Speaking at a meeting in the State House with the Global Vice President of Oracle, Mr. Andres Garcia Arroyo, the President welcomed the company’s commitment to Nigeria’s civil service reform process and data management sector.
The President said,
“I think we need a tight technological control that can check and balance all necessary control points of our transaction processes. I’m looking forward to working with Oracle because I have the belief and confidence that you can do it as you have in the past.”
The President cited Oracle’s proven success in the automation of the Lagos State payroll system during his tenure as the Lagos State Governor.
In his remarks, the Global Vice President of Oracle proposed a comprehensive digital transformation of the work process at the federal level of administration, in order to achieve greater macro-economic visibility; streamline government processes for cost and time savings; and provide the desired skills development opportunities for Nigerians.
