Ganduje flags off e-registration of APC members
National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has flagged off a train-the-trainer workshop on APC e-membership registration.
Speaking during the event on Wednesday in Abuja, Ganduje said the National Identification Number (NIN) would be required for e-registration of party members nationwide.
Recall that the Governor Mai Mala Buni led APC National Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee had embarked on a similar exercise in 2021, after which it announced that 40 million party members were registered.
Speaking during the flag off, Ganduje said, “Each person is expected to provide his or her biometric data which must tally with the details captured in the National Identity Number (NIN).
“By so doing, any member whose name appear on the digital register shall be deemed to be true and faithful members of our great party. This is an attempt to have graphic idea of the total members of our party, their geographical spread and demographic divisions.
“This process will not only drive the planning, decision-making and projection process but will serve as basis of reference for any member of our party seeking appointment at any level or desiring to contest an election.
“The APP and Portal on which the prospective trainees from the 36 states and the FCT, Abuja, are expected to use will soon be reactivated so that the existing and new members can go online to register and join our party from any part of the world.”
The project coordinator, Engr. Samuel Adedapo Adedoyin, said, the e-registration would address inefficiencies and limitations of traditional paper-based or fragmented digital registration systems, provide a unified and user friendly interface for both members and administrators.
“The electronic membership registration is a strategic investment for the party to enhance efficiency, transparency, communication, and improve the party overall organisational effectiveness for sustainable growth and success.”
The Ministers of Innovation, Science, and Technology, Chief Uche Nnaji, and Communications and Digital Economy, Dr Bosun Tijani, are listed as stakeholders in the exercise.
