President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni and the First Lady also Minister of Education and Sports, Maama Janet Museveni on Tuesday afternoon participated in the ongoing mass registration and renewal exercise of the National Identity cards at State Lodge, Nakasero.
The renewal exercise was efficiently conducted by a team from the authority, led by the Executive Director, Ms. Rosemary Kisembo.
In May, National Identification and Registration Authority (NIRA) launched the mass enrollment and renewal of national identity cards across the country.
The exercise is part of a countrywide campaign targeting over 15.8 million renewals and 17.2 million new registrations, including both children and adults who have not yet been registered. The campaign is expected to run for six months.
The registration of citizens is regarded as a crucial component of national security, ensuring that every individual is accounted for within the nation’s identity framework.
Enhanced biometric technology associated with these ID cards provides a reliable and unalterable means of establishing identity.
This initiative underscores the government’s commitment to strengthening national identity systems and fostering socio[1]economic transformation.
