The Executive Vice Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of the National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI), Mr. Khalil Suleiman Halilu, has reiterated the Agency’s commitment to supporting Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) in accelerating their digital transformation through the adoption of integrated Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solutions.
Speaking at the Nigeria Public Service Lecture Series organized by the Bureau of Public Service Reforms (BPSR) in Abuja, Khalil said public service reform is fundamentally a leadership commitment that must be driven by innovation, technology, and a culture of performance.
He noted that when he assumed office in 2023, many of NASENI’s processes were manual, approvals were slow, and digital adoption was limited. However, through deliberate institutional reforms and the deployment of an ERP system, the Agency now operates a largely paperless and data-driven environment.
According to him, the transformation has significantly improved operational efficiency, transparency, accountability, and service delivery across the Agency, while empowering staff at all levels to utilize digital tools in their daily operations.
Drawing from NASENI’s experience, the EVC emphasized that institutions transform when people embrace change and technology, adding that digital transformation remains critical to building a more efficient and responsive public service.
He therefore invited MDAs across the country to partner with NASENI in deploying ERP solutions tailored to their operational needs, stressing that the future of governance is digital and innovation-driven.
The Nigeria Public Service Lecture Series provides a platform for senior public officials, policy leaders, and development partners to discuss strategies for strengthening public institutions, advancing governance reforms, and improving service delivery in Nigeria.
