Over six million residents have been captured by the Lagos State Residents Registration Agency (LASRRA), it has been learnt.
Commissioner for Science and Technology Tubosun Alake stated this while presenting the ministry’s scorecard in the first year of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s second term in office. He added that LASRRA has also registered over two million children.
“The LASRRA identity card is a multi-model card that links bank account. It can be used on all government-owned transport services (train, BRT, water). That is why it’s the most advanced card in innovation”, he noted.
Alake also said the government has completed the 2,700km first phase of the Metro Fibre Project, while the 3,300km second phase would soon be completed.
He added: “Building a digitized city will require physical infrastructure connections to improve the digital connectivity of the state. The Metro Fibre project seeks to deliver 3,000km of optic fibre ducts for increase in digital penetration”.
Alake also said that 450 cameras have been deployed across the state to ensure a secure environment. “This will help in building a digitised 24-hour city where companies operate in a safe and secure environment, thereby creating a safer and more conducive environment for businesses, more jobs and increased Internally Generated Revenue (IGR).
