The Federal Government, in collaboration with key stakeholders, is set to implement the “Proof of Address System Initiative” aimed at addressing insecurity across Nigeria’s 774 local government areas.
The initiative was unveiled during a Stakeholders’ meeting for the Activation and Implementation of the Local Government Proof of Address System, held in Abuja.
Senator George Akume, Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), who was represented by Nnamdi Mbaeri, Permanent Secretary, General Services Office, explained that Nigeria, like many other nations, faces numerous challenges, including insecurity, social vices, economic instability, and inefficient governance.
He emphasized that this initiative would become an integral part of administrative processes in both public and private sectors, ultimately contributing to national security, enhancing government planning, and fostering a more orderly society.
Akume highlighted that the initiative reflects President Bola Tinubu’s commitment to addressing Nigeria’s core challenges and laying the foundation for a safer, more efficient, and prosperous nation.
