NPC launches full digital birth, death registration in Ogun
Speaking on Thursday at a press briefing in Abeokuta, the Federal Commissioner representing Ogun State, Dr Fasuwa Abayomi Johnson, said the rollout of the Electronic Civil Registration and Vital Statistics, E-CRVS, system marks a historic milestone in Nigeria’s civil registration process. He announced that the VitalReg platform became fully operational across Ogun State effective 1st July 2026, in line with the nationwide rollout, warning that any manual certificate issued after July is null and void. Johnson said the transition became necessary because gaps in the old system have denied many citizens legal identity and limited access to essential services.
