Lagos launches digital indigeneship certificate


The Lagos State government through the Ministry of Special Duties and Intergovernmental Relations on Thursday launched the Lagos State Indigeneship Automated Certificate.

The unveiling organised by the Ministry was done at the Alausa Secretariat, with the theme ‘Lagos State Indigeneship Certificate Automation: A Step Towards Modernisation.’

Speaking at the launch, Commissioner for Special Duties and Intergovernmental Relations, Olugbenga Oyerinde represented Dr. Funmilayo Sokunbi said the automated indigeneship certificate will make it easier for indigenous Lagosians to access services in the state.

He added that it will bring lasting benefits for generations of Lagosians to come as well as attract investors to the state.

The Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Special Duties and Intergovernmental Relations, Sesan Ogundeko, represented by Olawale Abdullah said issuing indigeneship certificates is one of the responsibilities of the ministry and one of the key elements of planning for development.

He said the new automated indigeneship certificate will also help to identify indigenous students of the state in various higher institutions across the country.

“Even in secondary schools , there's a need to have an indigeneship certificate. We decided to streamline and automated it to make it easier for any candidate to register and obtain the certificate. The process starts today and it will continue, “ he said.

The Chairman House Committee on Special Duties, Hon Olawale Ade-Sulaiman said most indigenes of Lagos do not know their ancestral home adding that the automated certificate will help the state government to identify those who are real Lagosians.

Qista Technologies the partners behind the technology said the initiative is a digital platform to verify authentic indigenes of the state adding that the certificate comes with bar code verifications and other security features.

“Most centralized education systems are not automated. Fake certificates and documents are rampant. There will be a bar code at the back of each certificate which makes it unique. The system can be operated on mobile phones. It will enhance transparency and easy identification.”

All those clowns from neighbouring states claiming Lagos causing problems and always saying 'go back to your region' will be muted from now on.

Nigeria, sha, is a very anyhow country; anything that will cause division and problems is what they always pioneer and focus on.

They will never do any meaningful project or enact laws that will benefit the common man.

Bad market for all those Ogun, Oyo and Osun people claiming Lagos 😂

We said it that time will come that the true indigines of Lagos will be separated from chaffs from other south west states claiming Yoruba is one .

Who told you that Yoruba is one?

If you're not an indigine of Lagos, you don't have the right to claim you're from Lagos. Infact, you're no different from the Chinedu from Enugu and Ahmed from Kano living in Lagos.

Lol, una funny, the way this Lagos matter is scratching you, it's more visible than the best of tribal marks sef

Yorubas can never be worried by this development, as we can read between the lines to know who this is targeting.
