    The Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, has ordered an immediate review of the state’s electronic governance platform due to concerns over its administration and security.
    According to a government statement, the platform is currently being run by unknown non-state actors, posing a serious data security threat to the state’s governance structure.

    “It has however been observed that the entire e-governance platform of Edo State Government is being run and operated from the backend by unknown non-state actors and no one within the entire Public Service of Edo State has administrative control of the platform,” the statement read.

    “This is considered a serious data security threat as it has placed the entire governance structure of the state at the mercy of non-state actors or so-called consultants. This, therefore, calls for an urgent need to review the process.”
    The review aims to enable the Edo State government to gain total administrative control of the platform and restore institutional memory, which the current platform lacks. “In the light of the foregoing and in order to remedy this clear and present danger, the Governor of Edo State, His Excellency, Senator Monday Okpebholo has ordered the immediate review of the entire e-governance platform with a view to enabling the Edo State government gain total administrative control of the platform and restoring institutional memory of government which the current platform lacks.”
    While the review is ongoing, officials and staff of Ministries, Departments, and Agencies are to continue working on the e-governance platform. “While the review is ongoing, all officials and staff of Ministries, Departments and Agencies are to continue to work on the e-governance platform pending the outcome of the ongoing review,” the statement concluded.
