Lagos Set to Launch Smart ID Card for Residents

By Yinka Fagbile

The Lagos State Government will on Wednesday, 20th of July, launch the  upgraded Lagos Smart Identity Card (LAG ID CARD) thus, replacing the Lagos State Resident Identity Card popularly known as LASRRA Card.

In a release on Tuesday, the state government, says the formal launch will be done by Lagos Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu at the Police College, Ikeja.

The General Manager of LASRRA, Mrs. Ibilola Kasunmu,  in the official release says "the launch will happen simultaneously, across the five divisions of the state". This includes Ikeja, Badagry, Ikorodu, Lsgos Island and Epe.

It would be recalled that the Lagos State Residents Registration Agency (LASRRA) had earlier announced the upgrade of Lagos State Resident Identity Card (LAG ID) for residents in the state to a smart card embedded with more features and functions that enable the cardholders to enjoy and have access to faster and better services from the Lagos State Government.

The new multi-application smartcard offers registered residents access to services ranging from a means of personal security and identity verification at points of accessing various government services, applying for loans from Lagos State Employment Trust Fund (LSETF) to pay for services across multiple vendors including BRT and LagFerry as well as cash withdrawals from banks’ Automated Teller Machines (ATMs).

The writers seem to suggest that Hon. Ojelabi's decisions are driven by a desire to block others from the riverine communities of attaining prominent political positions in the areas.
