With the extension of the
easing of the lockdown, please ensure you are taking responsibility for your
health by keeping safe and abiding by the guidelines of the NCDC, the Federal
and State Governments.
On the 5th of March, 2020,
the Convention on Business Integrity
held the 6th in the series of the Regulatory Conversations, themed, "National Identity
Number (NIN): Matters Arising & Implications to Nation Building". The forum
addressed the NIN and its regulatory framework, the need to urgently accelerate
the enrollment of more citizens on the NIM database, the mandatory use of the
NIN as well as its implications for all associated activities and business
transactions in Nigeria.
In a few short weeks after
the event, issues raised were brought to the fore in light of the COVID-19
pandemic. The relevance of the discourse in present day realities in the
Nigerian socioeconomic sphere can only be imagined. Recent events in
Nigeria has exposed the inefficiency in our Data Management system especially
in the area of identifying and capturing the vulnerable in our society, their
numbers and location. How do we plan adequately when we do not have accurate
data indicating the basic information of the citizens? The best time to Act is
NOW.
We had mentioned, in an
earlier on-line engagement that, these conversations would be on-going during
this period. We believe this is the right time to bring the issues to the fore
and get the attention of policy makers to take the right steps in this regard.
In line with this, we have
scheduled a webinar in collaboration with ActionAid and Citizens Connect
themed: "The Crucial
role of Civil society in Nation building: Case study of the Data Management
System in Nigeria".
The objective of the
webinar is to provide a platform for influencers within the Nigerian civil
society to discuss and proffer solutions to these lingering issues. At the end
of the webinar, a communique would be developed and presented to the relevant
policy makers as a tool to drive this specific policy. This webinar is
scheduled to hold on Thursday, May 28, 2020 by 11am.
Confirmed speakers at the
Webinar include,

Due to time constraints
and in other to have an organized discourse; we want to encourage our

collation to yinka.johnson@cbinigeria.com
