1 million out of the possible 21.5 Million lagosians have registered - LASRRA

Over one million Lagosians presently residing in Lagos State have so far been registered in the ongoing Lagos State resident registration exercise.

This information was made known on Tuesday by the General Manager, Lagos State Residents Registration Agency, Ms Yinka Fashola, at the agency office in Alausa while addressing newsmen during a media parley to update journalists on the current state of development in the ongoing Lagos State Residents Registration exercise.

Ms Fashola stated that out of 21.5 million persons presently residing in Lagos State only one million persons have so far registered with the agency. She went on to say that even though the agency has put in place registration stations in 199 areas which included market areas, rural areas, skill acquisition centres and royal palaces, Lagosians are not taking advantages of these centres to get themselves and family members duly registered.

With the growing needs for social amenities in the state, Ms Fashola advised Lagosians to make it a point of duty to register and by so doing helping government to have the necessary data to plan. - Tribune
