The Lagos State Government has disclosed its plans to open a new portal for the purpose of project management across the state’s Ministries, Departments and Agencies.
The state Commissioner for Economic Planning and Budget, Mr Sam Egube, stated this according to a statement on Wednesday, during a workshop organised by the ministry in collaboration with Mydes Lynk Partners in Alausa, Ikeja.
Egube, who was represented by the Special Adviser to the Lagos State Governor on Economic Planning and Budget, Bayo Sodade, added that the electronic platform, when fully built, will enable seamless interaction between government and citizens.
He said, “The opening of the Lagos State Project Management Report Tracker portal was to digitize the pre-payment certification as well as to enable citizens accessibility to government projects and programmes in real-time.
“The world today is becoming increasingly smart and digitalized and these technologies are virtually becoming the bedrock of our everyday activities which cannot be ignored.
“It is in this vein that the Project Management Report Tracker was developed to ease and fast track pre-payment certification through digitization and at the same time make the government accountable to the public through transparency of programmes and projects.”
A representative of Mydes Lynk Partners, Mr Tumi Adeyemi, explained that the platform allows citizens to have easy access to information on government projects and programmes.
“The portal will enable automation of data collection processes; real-time access to remote data on the status of various projects being executed by the state for easy access and reference purposes by any of the relevant stakeholders,” he said.
