LAGOS HONOURS REGISTERED RESIDENTS

The Lagos State Government, through the State Residents Registration Agency (LASRRA), has honoured five registered residents with significant numbers as part of efforts to encourage more residents to come forward and register in the on-going state wide registration exercise.

Presenting the awards, the General Manager of the Agency, Ms. Yinka Fashola, stated that the residents were chosen because of their significance numbers, stressing that all the five were the 600,000th, 700,000th, 800,000th, 900,000th, and 1, 000,000,000th respectively to be registered by the Agency.

She implored them to be the Agency’s Ambassador by encouraging their family members, friends, relatives and other community members to register as well.

It would be recalled that resident registration was launched on the 19th September, 2013 by Governor Fashola with the primary objective of assisting the State Government to formulate and implement policies, projects and programmes for the residents of the State.

The lucky residents are Mr. Kazeem Idowu Surakat, Mr. Ayodele Abiodun Ayanleye, Mr. Lucky Emeka Oha, Mr. Michael Ogbabor Agi and Mr. Tunde Sunday Akano. They had earlier been recognized by Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola, SAN, during the 2700 Days event held recently.
