The Lagos State Ministry of Youth and Social Development,in collaboration with the Lagos State Resident Registration Agency (LASRRA) and the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC), has successfully reunited an elderly woman, Alhaja Folake Balogun, with her relatives through the use of technology.

On December 29, 2024, Alhaja Balogun boarded a bus from Lagos Island to Ikeja.

Upon reaching Ikeja Underbridge, fellow passengers noticed she appeared confused and was unable to communicate.

She was subsequently handed over to the Ministry of Youth and Social Development, which placed her in the Rehabilitation Centre, Owutu, for proper care.

In a concerted effort to reunite Alhaja Balogun with her family, the Ministry not only issued a “Public Notice” across various social media platforms, but also collaborated with LASRRA to capture her biometric data and reached out to NIMC for additional support.

They emphasized the importance of registration for all Lagos residents.

“We are thrilled to see Mama reunited with her family, and this partnership with the Ministry of Youth and Social Development has been invaluable

“We encourage all Lagosians to register with LASRRA and NIMC, as there are numerous benefits to being registered.

“What we witnessed today is just one of those advantages.”
