The Commissioner assured that workers would be properly equipped stressing that the primary focus is to ensure that they know how to use the tools.
Fakuade said “so Mr. Governor already paid significant amount of money for us to have an effective and working email service and the email service has a lot of functions that allows us to do our work digitally.
“Mr. Governor has also approved that we develop an intra-productive system that allows us to send memos from one Commissioner to another without using paper which is climate friendly and would reduce expenses.
“The digital transition is not an impromptu arrangement. It is phased and not happening in one year or two, it is planned that whilst we are preparing to go digital, there are things like the conditions that we have to do.
“Number one is to digitally store all existing paper documents and files because some of them are pretty old and unnecessarily occupying space. Number two is to train our Civil Servant to make sure that they can compete anywhere in the world.
“Mr. Governor is passionate about having a highly trained and efficient Civil Service”.
