Gov Abdulrazaq Flags Off Resident Registration Exercise In Ilorin, Says Accurate Data Key To Devt, Security
Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq of Kwara state flagged off resident registration exercise in the state on Monday, an initiative that would according to him help to generate accurate database, guide government’s developmental plans, and provide relevant information that will enhance security of lives and property.
The governor also said such a database will assist in allocation of resources, including citizens’ access to social protection services like health insurance and government’s supports across different demographies.
A statement made available toTeam@orientactualmags.com by the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Mr Rafiu Ajakaye noted that AbdulRazaq also presented himself for registration during the event and this was conducted by the Acting General Manager of the Kwara state Residents’ Registration Agency (KWASRRA), Mr. Tajudeen Jimoh.
Governor Abdulrazaq had in December 2021 launched the KWASSRA, calling it a response to the imperatives for accurate information about every single person who resides in the state and how to plan for their needs in every way conceivable.
‘What we are doing today marks the formal commencement of the registration exercise, which will capture relevant data of every resident of Kwara state.
The essence is to have a reliable data bank of everyone and use the same for planning, allocation of resources, and security preparedness. With a reliable database, planning becomes easier and everyone living within our state is easily identified for purposes of planning, social protection programmes and other government services, and security.
With the right data, we can plan for today and make fair projections for the future. With reliable data, we will know who is employed and who is not, and further deploy resources to tackle other challenges of development.
I and my team are taking part in it today. I urge everyone to also make themselves available for the data capturing exercise at designated centres and time. When you do that, you are contributing your own quota to sustainable growth and development’ he said-
The statement added that the exercise will include biometrics to generate a unique identity for each of the residents-Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
