Yusuf implored the people of Isin to see the project as a privilege that comes to the area and encourage the well to do people from local communities to come and contribute their quota to the development of their immediate communities.
The State Coordinator, NIMC, Habeeb Olumoh, commended the donor of the project for the strong support and assistance to the commission, describing it as indispensable to the enrolment and registration centre building.
He said the project has shown the commitment of the benefactor to work with government for registration of Nigerians and promote database.
“The commissioning of the building marks an important milestone in the quest for National Identity card and by extension, National Identity Number (NIN) registration by Isin LGA residents into the National database. It is therefore of great significance to the people of Isin LGA.
“It is worth mentioning that our benefactor. Alhaji Kamoru Ibitoye Yusuf took the project as an obligation to fulfill his organization’s CSR in his community. This gesture has fully demonstrated his good heart for the people of Iwo Isin and indeed the people of Isin LGA in general.
“I would be more than happy to share on this occasion the legendary experience which culminated into the launch of this enrolment and registration centre building.
“Alhaji Kamoru Ibitoye Yusuf, on his own volition, visited the state office along Asa Dam road in Ilorin for his National identity card registration. On completion of the registration, which was without my knowledge, he decided to say hello to me as the State Coordinator. I see the opportunity to inform him that Isin LGA happens to be the only LG in the state where the commission does not have an office accommodation, thereby making it difficult for residents to be registered into the national database.
“By this gesture, Kamoru Ibitoye Yusuf has shown very deep and great commitment to work together with the government to promote registration of Nigerians and legal residents into the national database”, Olumoh said.
The event was attended by traditional rulers in Isin local government area including Oniwo of Iwo-Isin, Architect Joshua Olutade.
