Lagos declares Birth certificate free... tells residents to report officials who demand for money

The Lagos State Government has asked residents to stop paying for birth certificates, saying any state official who demanded money should be reported for disciplinary actions.

The Permanent Secretary, Lagos State Primary Health Board, Dr Tayo Lawal, spoke during the inauguration of the Surulere Primary Health Centre, Agbado-Oke-Odo, Alimosho Local Government Area.

The health centre was renovated and equipped by the Embassy of Japan in partnership with a non-governmental organisation, Street-to-School Initiative.

“There is, however, one thing I want you to monitor. If we have birth registration in this place and we are issuing birth certificates, you are not expected to pay a kobo for them. If anybody asked you for money, report such a person. We are assuring you that we will provide adequate personnel for this health centre,” Lawal added. How is your day going....
