The Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Sena- tor George Akume, and the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Dr Adegboyega Oyetola, on Tuesday, 9th December 2025, unveiled the Nigerian Shippers’ Council’s Enterprise Content Management System (ECMS) in Abuja, marking a significant leap in the Federal Government’s drive toward digital governance and greater efficiency in the maritime and blue economy sector.

The launch, attended by key government officials including the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Mrs Didi Walson-Jack, underscored the administration’s determination to modernise public service operations and strengthen Nigeria’s competitiveness in global trade.

In his remarks, the SGF congratulated the Minister for his leadership that helped secure Nigeria’s recent election into Category C of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) Council, describing the achievement as an affirmation of the country’s rising global maritime standing.

He also commended Dr Oyetola for providing strategic leadership in the marine and blue economy sector, emphasising that such direction was instrumental in the successful rollout of the ECMS by the nation’s port economic regulator. Senator Akume noted that the system would enhance the efficiency of government processes, reduce bureaucratic delays, and support the broader objectives of transparency, accountability, and digital transformation across the public service.
