PFIPC: Arewa Professional Forum Backs Digital Reforms, Seeks Full Adoption Across MDAs
The Arewa Professional Forum (APF) has urged the Federal Government to accelerate the adoption of digital governance and paperless administration across Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), saying recent developments surrounding the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC) underscore the need to strengthen institutional systems rather than dwell on assigning blame.
In a statement issued on Friday and signed by its National President, Comrade Auwal Muhammed, the Forum said attention should be focused on consolidating ongoing public service reforms capable of preventing administrative lapses through technology-driven governance.
According to the Forum, the issues surrounding the PFIPC should serve as a wake-up call for government institutions to eliminate manual processes that often create opportunities for delays, weak documentation and verification challenges.
The APF noted that one of the landmark achievements under the leadership of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Mrs. Didi Esther Walson-Jack, has been the transformation of the Federal Civil Service through digital innovation, automation and the drive towards a fully paperless public service.
