Commenting on the project, Mr. Demola Aladekomo, Managing Director, Chams PLC said “the utilisation of information and communication technology to improve service delivery in the public sector in Nigeria will make governance inclusive – bringing it closer to the people. It implies improved access to public service and drastic reduction in the high incidence of fraud and wastage often associated with public sector welfare programmes”.

Mr. Olufemi Williams, Deputy Managing Director, Chams Plc said, “The ongoing implementation of residents’ identity management programmes by Anambra State will enhance the ability of the state government to make short, medium and long term plans for the benefit of their people.
