Mr. Polycarp Anyanwu:

The off-the-shelf system we are trying to buy is going to deal with four of the five systems. The fifth one is the finance system. When we analysed this in January to February 2024 we arrived at the decision that it is more efficient to have an amalgamated system. It is tested and other organisations are using it. Then we have a finance ERP that is also tested. Then we just go to integration of the two systems, which is a more efficient solution for everybody going forward.
