Aladekomo to speak on national identity management at UNILAG

The University of Lagos MBA 83-84 class has invited Sir Demola Aladekomo to speak on the Socio-Economic Imperative of National Identity Management.

Aladekomo, a Computer Engineer, is the Chairman of SmartCity Resorts Plc, Card Centre Nigeria Limited, Treasure-nest Limited, Crops Nigeria Limited, Chams Consortium Limited, Insider Concepts Limited and the founder of Chams Plc.

The event, which comes up on Thursday April 15, 2021 by 4pm via Zoom  will be moderated by Professor Lere Baale, Chief Executive of Business School, Netherlands (BSN) in Nigeria.

On his acceptance to participate, Aladekomo said an effective national identity management system is critical to the development of any economy.

It provides a universal identification infrastructure for a country because it enables access and means to confirm the identity of individuals residing in a country.

Referring to the study carried out by the World Bank, he further said the ability to prove one’s identity is a cornerstone of participation in modern life, yet over 1.5 billion people lack proof of legal identity.

In most countries in Africa, like Nigeria, lack of strong foundational identity systems has often led to a proliferation of disconnected functional registers.

Many are currently faced with the challenge of reverse-engineering civil registers and national IDs in order to improve efficiency and meet demand for identification services.

At the centre of all this is human beings. It is expected the discourse will touch areas such as financial services, identity management, security, political stability & evolution, etc.
