As Ondo Rolls Out Kaadi Igbe Ayo, Smartcard For Digitalised Service Delivery by topazjosh(m): 1:11pm On Jul 07, 2015 |
On July 2 this year, the Olusegun Mimiko led administration will begin the implementation of a mult-purpose smartcard, Kaadi Igbe Ayo, in Ondo State. While smart card technology has been deployed by several governments for specific purposes, to date, there has been no multi-purpose smart card powered by the social democratic mantra of democratising access to all the good things of life, through which citizens can access and enjoy all the dividends of democracy, a card that would make it impossible for the people to be cheated. This is precisely what Kaadi Igbe Ayo (KAI), Ondo State’s latest in digitalised service delivery, is targeted at achieving. In accordance with its name (literally, card of joyful living), KAI is being deployed by the Ondo State government to facilitate strategic planning and development, efficient record keeping, human resource monitoring in the public sector, anti-corruption drive and solutions, while enabling a higher level of qualitative/quantitative service delivery in the health, education, transport and agro-allied sectors. The residency card, it has been established, would serve as an interface in all transactions between the government and residents, allow all residents equal access to government’s social and welfare services and allow government to monitor the distribution of such services even to the remotest parts of the state at every point. But that is not all: it facilitates the systematic development of databases for efficient security and surveillance purposes, the categorisation of citizens for employment, taxation and financial palliatives, the use/management of public facilities (public transport, subsidized consumer products, even fertilizer). You can even advertise your goods at the back of the card. During the formal launching of Kaadi Igbe Ayo in February 2013 at an occasion attended by the late Deji of Akure, HRH Adebiyi Adesida, the Osemawe of Ondo, HRH Victor Kiladejo; the Zaki of Arigidi, HRH Yisa Olanipekun, and many other royal fathers from across the state; Information Minister, Labaran Maku; Governor Olusegun Mimiko and his wife, Oluwakemi; a former governor of Ondo State, Evangelist Bamidele Olumilua; members of the Ondo State House of Assembly, the President, Customary Court, Justice Folasade Aguda-Taiwo; Dr Olu Agunloye, members of the immediate past cabinet; market women, the many pregnant women clad in T-shirts, the artisans and members of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), among others, the Federal Government had indicated that it would key into the project on a national scale. Speaking on behalf of the Federal Government, the then Information Minister, Labaran Maku, had described Governor Mimiko as a pace setter in governance in the country and an unparalleled disciple of the sage, Chief Obafemi Awolowo who had, through revolutionary programmes in health, education, health, urban development, job creation, agriculture and commerce, among others, tackled poverty and improved the wellbeing of the majority of the people. He said: “This is a historic, ground- breaking technological invention. I have come to launch a smart card that is, in all senses, truly revolutionary, the first in Nigeria and the world. This card is about welfare. I have been on good governance tour and these are the kinds of things that we want to see,’’ while revealing that the Federal Government would key into the KAI project to evolve a new identification card for every Nigerian. On that occasion, Governor Olusegun Mimiko, while detailing the welfare-based, benefits-driven governance which mandated the prioritization of certain people-oriented projects in the last four years, including the Mother & Child Hospitals; Abiye Maternal Care Centres; Mega-Primary Schools; over 650 purpose-specific and state-wide community projects and countless such other efforts in road reconstruction, urban renewal and city beautification, had said the smartcard initiative was in fulfilment of his 2009 inauguration promise to provide efficient service delivery to the people, adding that the continued success of the government’s programmes in different sectors meant that it was essential to better manage, expand, and improve on the planning and execution of the programmes. He had observed: “As a concept, Kaadi Igbe Ayo is a project to facilitate sustainable government service delivery to citizens of the state. The project will ensure that integrity, accountability, data collection and reporting, analysis and research will be possible in the planning and execution of benefits and entitlements schemes by government. The overall functional purpose and relevance of what we have come here to inaugurate today therefore, lie in the possibility of using the Kaadi Igbe-Ayo as the electronic vehicle to achieve the above stated policy goals. “We want to know our own people. If we are giving out a bag of rice per person, you cannot collect it without that card. If you have collected your own bag and you return to collect another one, that card would tell you that you are a thief. A banker cannot remove his tie and go and collect fertilizer meant for farmers. If you don’t pay your tax, the card will show us that and we will ask your children to go back home when they come to attend the mega schools. What will facilitate good living is for us all to do the things that we are supposed to do.” At the second National Council Meeting on Communication Technology (NCCT), which held in Akure, the Ondo State Capital, September 3, 2013, Minister of Communication Technology, Mrs Omobola Johnson, speaking on the rationale for holding the meeting in the state, had noted that the government’s bias for ICT- driven programmes informed the decision. Ondo is, in her words, one of the most progressive states in the field of leveraging ICTs for socio-economic benefit of its citizens and indigenes. The minister cited the Abiye programme, a world recognised initiative to significantly reduce maternal and child mortality with the simple technology of a mobile phone and the Kaadi Igbe Ayo, a bio-metric card that will aid the targeted delivery of social and other services to citizens. Governor Olusegun Mimiko, on his part, said: “The 21st Century has been aptly described as the ‘Information Age’ and Nigeria cannot afford to be sidelined in the myriad of innovation and creativity that are the hallmarks of globalisation. From the common desktop computers to the ubiquitous smartphones, tablets and most recently ‘Phablets’ it is crystal clear, ICT has become very much the core of modern civilisation. A major push in this regard is the introduction of the Ondo State Residency Card project (otherwise known as Kaadi Igbe Ayo) which was envisioned as a veritable platform for multi- purpose welfare services management for all citizens and residents in the state. Kaadi Igbe Ayo is being deployed towards strategic planning and development in the state; efficient record keeping and management of human resources in the public and social sectors. “In particular, the platform is a veritable tool in the scaling up of qualitative and quantitative delivery in our people-oriented sub sector such as health, education, transportation and agriculture. Interestingly too, the project is facilitating the systematic development of database for efficient security and surveillance purposes,” he said, while expressing the hope that the document would be reviewed from time to time to keep pace with breathtaking developments in the field and broaden and deepen stakeholders’ buy-in and ensure greater flexibility in fundamental infrastructural issues like fibre versus wireless preference. “Our job is not finished until we have taken all our people to the cyber space where information and knowledge truly reside. We must indeed take all Nigerians to the cyberspace. This government is fully committed towards putting Ondo State in the forefront of the evolving ICT revolution. We shall continue to explore ways and means of making the governmental machinery and the entire people of Ondo State more ICT-competent and oriented.” That, in a nutshell, is the message of Kaadi Igbe Ayo.

siraj1402:MORE than 70 per cent of beneficiaries of Ondo State’s free healthcare are non-residents, it emerged at the weekend. The indication followed the successful take-off of the utilization phase of the state government’s Residency Card scheme, also known as Kaadi Igbeayo. Enforcement of the card usage commenced with the health sector last week. Information Commissioner Kayode Akinmade had mentioned before the utilization kick- off that government would focus on initial four sctors for the card usage. He also stressed that government would not compromise its order that non-carrier of the card would not be allowed access to government social services. He mentioned the sectors as health, education, agriculture and micro- finance. Indications had emerged that the health sector was beginning to experience the effect of the full implementation of the card as efforts were being made to ensure that non-residents who flock in from neighboring states and the north to enjoy its free healthcare begin to pay a token. In apparent demonstration of its resolve to enforce the usage of the smart card, the Commissioner for Health, Dr Dayo Adeyanju, in company with the Chairman, Civic Data Centre, Mr. Tunde Yadeka, at the weekend toured medical facilities. |

Michdear:I worked with tecvibes and the production of the cards was done by us.The issuance and even the preparation of the database. We were around 13 in number that started the job.As at late 2012,more than 300,000 cards has been produced with little issued out under abiye,precisely at mothe and child oke aro.Also some health personnel was trained by us on how to use the card as there is a section in it that stored health info.Really,its a complete social security card and will really cob frud as you can easily programme the database to get an estimated number of a specific people when need arises. We did that of farmers then to check yhe diversion of fertiliser.As a staff then we were scammed as we work day and night with no weekends upon the promise that we will be retailed,only one of us scaped through under civic data center created by mimiko which I can called sub SITA(State Information Technology Agency).Though that never disturb me as life always goes on.Now Mimiko administration will be coming to an end in less than 2 years. Do you think its must for next governor even under PDP to continue with it?Out of his 8 years the cards might not even function for full 1 year and people where using money to collect the card that over 300,000 is on ground with no collection. Those involved Tunde Yadeka,Lanwa Adebulumo,Yusuff Waheed,a formal member of the board Aluko and even Yadeka's predecessor Egunlayi have made hell of money out of the programme. I have more than enough to say . Just let's forget it.I guess uou were working with them,if yes you were only fortunate as some people have suffered for that. |
