Governor of Osun State, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, has called on the Federal Government to take a cue from Osun in the deployment of technology to guarantee effective and efficient governance.
Aregbesola made the call in Osun during the flag-off of the national identity card registration in Osogbo.
Speaking to journalists after his registration, the governor said Osun had deployed technology in most of its sectors of the economy for the purpose of economic growth, safe commercial transactions and crime control.
He disclosed that all civil servants in the state had been registered and were carrying electronic smart cards for all transactions, adding government had also registered all farmers and the sizes of their farmlands; finished smart cards for over 750 students and would soon commence enumeration of the operators of informal sectors early next year.
The governor stated that the national identification card for every Nigerian was long overdue.
According to him, a national identity card that carries the biometric data of every citizen will save the nation from so many political and economic complications and embarrassments.
He noted that for the country to have a modern, civilised, just and almost crime-free society, the national identity card was a necessity
