The Federal Government has disclosed plans to

Federal Capital Territory under the Basic Registry
and Information System in Nigeria scheme.
Dr. Anthony Uwa, the Head of BRISIN
implementation in Nigeria, told the News Agency
of Nigeria on Sunday in Abuja that more
Nigerians would be recruited after the pilot
phase.
NAN reports that BRISIN is an integrated system
for the collection, storage and distribution of
information to support the management of the
economy.
Uwa said the system aimed at bringing
developmental and economic growth in the
country through the use of data collection of
people and other relevant information.
“The data received will be used to plan for the
management of the nation’s resources,” he said.
NAN reports that the project was initiated by the
former President Olusegun Obasanjo
administration, while the Goodluck Jonathan’s
administration inaugurated a Technical
Committee for its implementation.
According to Uwa, since BRISIN covers all aspect
of the economy, the recruitment is not restricted
to a particular field or discipline.
He however, said the implementation would
commence with the social welfare, an aspect of
the project, with special attention to disability
data bank.
He said: “We are giving attention to social
welfare and building the disability data bank to
attain the actual number of disabled people in
the FCT.
“We are recruiting 5,000 people out of which 200
will be sent to Italy for training on various aspect
of the project and they will be the trainees’
trainers.
