Basic Registry and Information System of Nigeria (BRISIN) says it has commenced public awareness creation on the first phase of its programme in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
Dr Anthony Uwa, the Head of BRISIN, made this known at the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) Forum in Abuja.
BRISIN, an integrated system for the collection, storage and distribution of information to support the management of the country’s economy, was conceived during former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s regime.
Uwa said that though the technical committee for implementation of the programme was inaugurated by former President, Goodluck Jonathan, actual implementation is now being undertaken by the Buhari administration.
He said BRISIN had conducted digital mapping of FCT wards, people living in the city and their culture, among others.
“We have done a digital mapping of Nigeria but FCT mostly; we know where the wards are, the people that are living in the city and their culture.
“What we need now is to start the system data collection, distribution and to have the infrastructure in place.
“BRISIN has come to stay in Nigeria and it will work, notwithstanding doubts expressed in some quarters, because the Federal government is taking a stand to ensure its success,” he said.
According to Uwa, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is planning a sensitisation meeting on BRISIN for all foreign missions in Nigeria and international organisations to aid understanding of the programme.
He said the technical committee coordinating the project was putting measures in place to address issues of bureaucracy to ensure speedy implementation in Ministries, Departments and Agencies.

We are moving gradually and the sky will not only be our limit. It will be our Stepping stone. Thanks to Brisin
How can you fight corruption without first knowing the level and grievous amount of corruption been undertaken in a geographical area, office and sector. You can not persecute one in a law court without concrete evidences. Brisin implementation will also help the government to know the amount of funds needed to be disbursed for a particular project in a ward, local council or state because they must have gotten the accurate data and information needed from that area, it will be alot more easier for the government to make perfect calculations of needed and non needed funds via the implementation of BRISIN
I appreciate all that is involve in this initiative, is a welcome development because any nation without an examined information system of their citizens and non citizens is like a planless society without focus. Civilised countries needs such agency for adequate and faster development of social and economic policies. So kudos to u all,but the site has not open as at 10:30am for the test when I checked.
I PRAY THAT GOD WILL ALLOW IT TO STAY AND ITS PURPOSE ESTABLISHED
Time is a very good and welcome development for Nigeria. Let us move this country forward for once at least. Conceived during OBJ and inaugurated during GEJ but not fully on ground. Please keep the good work let us wipe away corruption for good
