"content": "Gone are the days when people used to think that a birth certificate is a luxury. During our days in school, a birth certificate would only be required when applying for a passport. But nowadays, it is a basic requirement and one needs to submit at every stage of any government registration. We hope the bio-registration which was started by the Government will address some of these challenges so that we do not have too many documents in our wallet and do not have to carry so many of these. They should be carried in one folder where all the information about a person is given. All developed countries have succeeded because they have data of their citizens. When we have data, we are able to establish for purposes of planning, we are able to know how many people we have, how many are pupils are going to join Form One so that the Government is able to plan ahead of time. We are also able to know how many students are going to join university and how many are qualified for national polytechnics so that we are able to plan ahead of time."
