The migration is being implemented by a Nigerian Software Development Outfit - ShepherdHill Software based in Lagos.

The implementation is based on the eMetria version of PostgreSQL (7.3.4) until the version 7.5 would be released for
productionuse.

repositorywith the psqlODBC. 

Also, the central Accounting and Personnel Management Software System under development are targeted at PostgreSQL
