The office of
accountant-general of the federation (OAGF) says it has successfully restored
the Government Integrated Financial Management Information System (GIFMIS)
service platform.
GIFMIS is an
IT-based system for budget management and accounting. It was put in place by
the federal government to improve public expenditure management processes,
enhance greater accountability and transparency across ministries and agencies.
In a statement on
Friday, Henshaw Ogubike, director (information, press and public relations),
said the GIFMIS platform shut down after a fire outbreak at the
accountant-general’s office.
On Wednesday, a fire
broke out at the Treasury House, the building housing the accountant-general’s
office. It was later put out by the Federal Fire Service.
In a statement,
Ogubike said payments can now be made and received through the GIFMIS platform.
He expressed the
regrets of the accountant-general’s office regarding any inconveniences the
breakdown in service might have caused the public.
“Presently, service
has been restored and payments can be made and received through the GIFMIS
Platform,’’ the NAN quoted the director as saying.
“The OAGF remains
alive to its responsibility, as the anomaly was rectified in less than 24 hours
from the time of the incident.”
