Governor Charles Soludo’s government says plans are underway to unveil an electronic identity card (e-ID) for civil servants and other government employees in Anambra.
Chukwuemeka Agbata, the managing director of the Anambra State ICT Agency, in a statement on Thursday, said the innovation was in line with Mr Soludo’s determination to digitise the state and its workforce.
“The unveiling will be a historic event and testament to the visionary leadership of Governor Soludo in accordance with his mantra of ‘Everything technology and technology everywhere’,” the Anambra government said in the statement.
It added, “The e-ID card will strengthen identity management in the state by enabling government and citizens alike to easily identify government employees.”
The Anambra government also mentioned that it would “also successfully address the current issue of the state’s lack of a standardised and secure method for issuing and confirming ID cards and their holders.”
