Over 34,000 Federal Workers Now Have Official Government Emails
The Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation says more than 34,000 federal workers across the country have now been assigned official government email addresses to enhance secure and efficient communication.
Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Mrs. Didi Esther Walson-Jack, made this known on Friday at a “Quarterly Stakeholders and Citizens Engagement Forum” in Abuja.
Mrs. Walson-Jack said the introduction of official government emails forms part of a broader push to digitalise operations, improve transparency, and create a smarter government.
She revealed that her office is also migrating records and services to the OneGovernment Cloud platform powered by Galaxy Backbone, under the Nigeria First Initiative in IT.

“In line with our goals, we are on track to achieve full digitalisation of core processes by December 31, 2025,” she said, adding that the reforms are already changing public perceptions of the civil service.
The HoCSF noted that Nigerians are beginning to believe in the civil service again, with growing confidence that it is becoming more responsive to citizens’ needs.
She stressed that sustaining this renewed trust would require continuous engagement with the public through forums, the media, and civil society consultations.
Mrs. Walson-Jack also announced plans to introduce eco-friendly electric staff buses to provide safe and comfortable transportation for civil servants, alongside sustaining initiatives that honour outstanding public servants as part of entrenching a merit-based culture.
“This forum is designed to foster honest dialogue, shared problem-solving, and collective ownership of the reforms that will reshape our civil service for the better,” she said.
“When the public sees a government that listens and partners whose contributions are valued, confidence in our institutions grows.”
