 Good evening, I am Shadeh Uwe. This is News Update. President Bola Amid Tinibu will on Wednesday launch a birth, birth and marriage registration portal. The registration system includes all civil registrations such as birth registration, stillbirth registration, birth attestation, adoption, marriage notification, divorce notification, migration and deaths. Chairman of the National Population Commission, Nassir Akwara made this known as a pre-launch briefing on Monday. Population resides in the rural areas and births and deaths also take place there, marriages, divorces take place there. What the digital process is going to help us do is to be able to collect this data, put them in a database and be able to share with government agencies, researchers, private sector, so on and so forth. Presently, we are present in virtually every word in every document of this country, but we are doing that manually. So, all we are going to have is introduction of handheld devices that will enable us to control data of our people.
