Treasury House: We Restored Services On GIFMIS Less Than 24 Hours After Fire Incident – OAGF  

BY GLORIA USMAN, ABUJA – The Office of the Accountant General of the Federation (OAGF), has said that it has successful restored services on the Government Integrated Financial Management Information System (GIFMIS) platform. 

The OAGF said that the shutdown of the GIFMIS platform was caused by the fire out break at the Treasury House on Wednesday, which was later contained. 

A statement by the Director, Information, Press and Public Relations, Henshaw Ogubike, stated that the fire affected the outdoor panels of the cooling system of the Server, and as a result, the Server automatically shut itself down. 

Ogubike said; “Repair work was immediately carried out on the affected equipment on Thursday, and the Server was successfully restarted. 

“Presently, service has been restored and payments can be made and received through the GIFMIS Platform”.  

“The GIFMIS is an IT based system for budget management and accounting that is meant to improve Public Expenditure Management processes, enhance greater accountability and transparency across Ministries and Agencies,” he explained.
