The Chairman/Founder of Grassroots Addressing and Identity
Network Limited, Bisi Adegbuyi, stated this in a letter to the World Bank
Country Director in Nigeria, Shubham Chaudhuri.
In a statement, he stated that it was imperative for the
implementation process to be driven by a tailored addressing and identity
technology to ensure transparency and confidence building.
He said, “One of the conditions precedents for the process
to be transparent is that beneficiaries should be assigned duly validated
digital addresses and means of identification. This will also engender a
real-time feedback mechanism for transparency and accountability.”
Adegbuyi, who is a public administrator and a former
postmaster general of Nigeria/chief executive officer of the Nigerian Postal
Service, noted that one of the major criticisms of Nigeria’s social
intervention programme, enabled by the World Bank’s $500m International
Development Association grant in 2016, was the alleged opaqueness of the
National Social Register of poor and vulnerable Nigerians.
The statement added that Adegbuyi disclosed that, “Our
digital addressing and identity verification systems software, which won the
recognition of World Summit on Information Society, an affiliate of
International Telecommunications Union, a specialised agency of the United
Nations in 2018, can help to provide an end-to-end monitoring tool for the
scheme, thereby enhancing its transparency and accountability.”
