Governor Nasir El-Rufai
In a press conference on Wednesday, the Kaduna State Commissioner
for Budget and Planning, Muhammad
Abdullahi announced
the introduction of residency card for all residents of the state, Vanguard reports.
The
Commissioner, who spoke after he was registered for the card at the North
West Zonal Office of the National
Identity Management Commission (NIMC) in Kaduna, said the purpose of
the residency card was to enable the state plan and provide social services.
“Kaduna State
Government is currently providing a number of free social services for the
people in the state. But to achieve the desired impact, we need to have
the accurate figure of those residing in the state. We need to know who and who
resides in our state and where. When we know the number of people residing in
the state and where they are, it will help us to plan and provide better
services for all residents,’’ he said.
He continued
that people will be required to present their residency card before they could
access the services.
The
commissioner disclosed that the registration for the card was being done in
conjunction with NIMC in more than 31 centers across the state.
The NIMC North
West Zonal Director, Oyesola
Taiwo, explained that registration for the residency card was
linked with the NIMC data base.
“The process is
very easy. If you already have the National Identification Number, all you need
to do is just to present the number and you will be captured immediately. In a
situation that you do not have, the first step is to register for the national
identification number, after, you will be captured for the state residency
card,” he concluded.
