The Federal Ministry of Housing and Urban Development says it will officially go live with its Electronic Content Management (ECM) system on September 30, 2025.
A press statement from the ministry, signed by the Director of Information and Public Relations, Badamasi S. Haiba, said the ECM is a system introduced to digitalise records management and streamline all official correspondences, thereby reducing paperwork and improving service delivery.
Haiba said: “This development is in line with the directives of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, aimed at strengthening efficiency, accountability, and transparency in the operations of Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs).”
He said all external correspondences with the ministry will henceforth be conducted exclusively through its official email platforms listed below:
- hmregistry@fmhud.gov.com
- hmsregistry@fmhud.gov.com
- psregistry@fmhud.gov.com
The ministry says it will also deploy its official website and social media platforms to publicise this initiative and ensure that stakeholders and the wider public are well informed.
The Deputy Director and head of the ICT Department of the ministry, Dr. Marcus Amiolemen, expressed appreciation to the Permanent Secretary, Dr. Shuaib Belgore, for providing all the necessary support and approval for the ECM system to come on stream.
The ministry assured its partners, stakeholders, and members of the public of its commitment to leveraging technology-driven systems to deliver better services in line with global best practices.
It could be recalled that the Bureau of Public Service Reforms (BPSR) had last October named the Federal Ministry of Housing and Urban Development as the “Best MDA in Innovative Use of Technology, 2024” and the minister, Architect Ahmed Dangiwa, honoured with the award of “Distinguished GovTech Trailblazer”.
The Director General of the BPSR, Dr. Dasuku Arabi, stated that the awards were in recognition of the ministry’s “outstanding leadership in advancing technology initiatives and digitisation programmes that contribute to the digital transformation agenda in the public sector and enhance service delivery.”
The bureau highlighted the launch and efficient operation of the innovative Online Renewed Hope Housing Portal (www.renewedhopehomes.fmhud.gov.ng) by the ministry, which has made it easier and more convenient for Nigerians to own homes under the Renewed Hope Cities and Estates Programme.
It also cited the ministry’s Electronic Certificate of Occupancy Technology System, which has simplified the process of signing and issuing titles for federal real estate, making it faster, easier, transparent, and secure as another breakthrough innovation by the ministry.
