The Head of ICT, Dr. Marcus Amiolemen, also acknowledge that the Ministry staff members have been trained on the use of the new system for improvement and efficiency across all departments.

Official ECMS email addresses for formal correspondence include, office of the Honourable Minister –hmregistry@fmhud.gov.ng, office of the Minister of State – hmsregistry@fmhud.gov.ng, and office of the Permanent Secretary – psregistry@fmhud.gov.ng.
