In a groundbreaking move to enhance national identification and service delivery, the Federal Government (FG) is set to roll out a Proof of Address (PoA) system across all 774 Local Government Areas in Nigeria. This initiative aims to provide every resident with a verifiable and secure address, bolstering various sectors and improving governance.

 

The implementation of the PoA system will be a collaborative effort involving the Local Government Authorities (LGAs), the Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST), and the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC). This partnership seeks to harmonize Nigeria’s address database and post-code system to establish a comprehensive national addressing framework.

The PoA system will deploy cutting-edge technologies, including geolocation tools, to accurately identify the physical addresses of residents captured in the project. This will ensure that each address is precise and verifiable, creating a robust foundation for various applications. Upon completion of the exercise, every resident will receive a Proof of Address Certificate, which can be used for identification and other official purposes.

 

The potential benefits of this initiative are vast and far-reaching. A harmonized and secure address system is expected to significantly impact:

 

Security: Enhanced ability to track and verify individuals’ locations for law enforcement purposes.

 

Financial Services: Simplified Know Your Customer (KYC) processes for banks and financial institutions.

 

E-commerce and Logistics: Improved delivery accuracy and efficiency in online shopping and logistics operations.

 

 

The FG’s launch of the PoA system represents a pivotal step towards modernization and efficiency in public administration. It underscores the government’s commitment to leveraging technology to address critical infrastructural gaps, enhance citizen services, and drive socio-economic growth.

 

Further updates on the rollout process and timelines are expected in the coming weeks.
