The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) said on Friday that decentralisation, digitisation, and interoperability would drive the registration of the birth of 12.7 million children across the country in 2023.
UNICEF Child Protection Specialist, UNICEF Kaduna Field Office, Dr Wilfred Mamah, said this at the state-level kick-off operational plan for the 2023 registration exercise for Kaduna and Zamfara States.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the event was organised in Kaduna by the National Population Commission (NPC) in Collaboration with the National Orientation Agency (NOA) with support from UNICEF.
