Kwara State Governor Inaugurates Residents' Registration Exercise to Enhance Data Accuracy and Security
According to a news report from Punch, Kwara State Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, on Monday, inaugurated a residents' registration exercise. This initiative aims to generate an accurate database, guide the government's developmental plans, and provide essential information to enhance the security of lives and properties.
Governor AbdulRazaq stated that the database would assist in allocating resources and ensuring citizens' access to social protection services such as health insurance and government support across various demographics.
On Monday, the governor personally registered for the exercise, conducted by the Acting General Manager of the Kwara State Residents' Registration Agency (KWASSRA), Tajudeen Jimoh, according to a statement signed by the governor's spokesperson, Rafiu Ajakaye.
In December 2021, Governor AbdulRazaq launched KWASSRA, emphasising the necessity for accurate information about every resident in the state to plan effectively for their needs in every conceivable way.
“What we are doing today marks the formal commencement of the registration exercise, which will capture relevant data of every resident of Kwara,” he said at the launch on Monday.
The governor added, “The essence is to have a reliable data bank of everyone and use 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.
“My team and I are taking part in it today. I urge everyone to also make themselves available for the data-capturing exercise at designated centres and times. When you do that, you are contributing your own quota to sustainable growth and development.”
The exercise, according to the statement, would include biometrics to generate a unique identity for each resident
