LAGOS STATE GOVERNMENT REFUNDS 145 FORMER SUBSCRIBERS OF EGAN HOUSING ESTATE
admin The Lagos and Bayelsa state governments have hailed SoftAlliance, a technology firm, for its innovations which has contributed to the ease of doing business and government operations in several states.
The firm developed the application used by the Lagos State Ministry of Transportation and Vehicle Inspection Service which captures motorists that jump traffic light and sends messages to offenders.
It also developed the technology used by Oracle and Alpha-Beta companies in Lagos and other six states for revenue generation.
At the gala and awards night to mark its 20th anniversary, Special Adviser to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Taxation and Revenue, Opeyemi Ogunbo, who represented Deputy Governor Obafemi Hamzat, hailed SoftAlliance for being ‘a pioneering force in technological innovations’.
He said: “SoftAlliance has emerged as a pioneering force in technology. It has set a benchmark for others to follow. We acknowledge your commitment to excellence. You have been at the forefront of innovation in Lagos State and the government will continue to recognise your contributions to our revenue collection.”
Technical Adviser on Treasury, Tax and Revenue Matters to the Bayelsa State governor, Timipre Seipulou, said the state has had a good working relationship with SoftAlliance in the last 16 years.
“As a state, we are interested in transparency and accountability, and that people should have value for their money. We have partnered with SoftAlliance for over 16 years. The processes for payroll in Bayelsa have been handled by SoftAlliance. We have computerised our entire payroll through SoftAlliance. We have had a wonderful working relationship with them over the years and they have proven to be a reliable technology company,” he said.
An entrepreneur, Folake Aina, said she has been using SoftPay, an app developed by SoftAlliance, to run her business which has contributed to the smooth operation of her business.
“SoftAlliance has helped us to streamline our operations through their app. They have come down to our level. They were able to tweak their applications to fit into our operation. With SoftPay, we are able to seamlessly pay our workers salaries without issues,” she said
Managing Director of SoftAlliance, Bisi Aina, thanked the Lagos State government for believing in its ability to deliver for the past 20-years.
According to him, the company has been at the forefront of providing digital transformation in Nigeria. He noted that the company’s Chairman, Dr. Tunde Badejo, 20-years ago, with other consultants in Diaspora, began a digital revolution in Nigeria with ‘a mission to deliver innovative and transformative technology solutions for Lagos State government’.
“The mission was simple: to empower and unlock the full potential of Lagos State government through the power of IT. This started through a group of consultants in the Diaspora led by Dr. Tunde Badejo to implement Oracle ERP. Subsequently, SoftAllaince was born to ensure the continuous stabilisation and adoption of the new platform.
“Our vision for the next decade is to remain at the forefront of digital transformation, pioneering innovative solutions that help businesses thrive in an increasingly digital and connected world.
“We will continue to invest in new technologies, expand our service offerings, and strengthen our partnerships. Our focus will remain on delivering measurable value, improving efficiency, and driving sustainable growth for our clients,” he said.
Some of the projects implemented by the firm include payroll systems, automatic number plate administration for transportation management, cloud infrastructure and ERP implementations.
