Civil servants and other government employees in Anambra State are to wear electronic identity cards (e-ID).
The Managing Director, Anambra State ICT Agency, Chukwuemeka Agbata, revealed this on Thursday in Awka, saying the innovation was in line with Gov. Chukwuma Soludo’s determination to digitise the state and its workforce
“The unveiling will be a historic event and testament to the visionary leadership of Gov. Soludo in accordance with his mantra of ‘Everything Technology and Technology everywhere’.
“The e-ID card will strengthen identity management in the state by enabling government and citizens alike to easily identify government employees.
“It will also successfully address the current issue of the state’s lack of a standardised and secure method for issuing and confirming ID cards and their holders,” it said.
