The Lagos State Government says it has adopted a
wave-making information technology programme, the Electronic Data
Management, to ensure easy access to information on vehicles registered
in the state.
The Permanent Secretary of the state’s Motor Vehicle Administration Agency, Mr. Akin Hanson, said this on Friday.
He
said the agency embarked on the project in order to align with global
trends in e-governance and achieve the global best practices in vehicle
administration.
Hanson explained that previous vehicle
data written in ledgers at the state’s licensing stations from 1994 to
2007, before the commencement of the Autoreg system, had been converted
from hard copies to electronic and web-based formats.
He
said, “The EDMS will enhance efficient service delivery to the citizenry
and boost transparency in the management of resources. The system would
facilitate quick online storage and easy retrieval of information on
vehicles, provide data electronically on demand, and enhance online
transaction between the agency and its numerous stakeholders.”
