The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), yesterday, flagged off the North West E-Registration Train-the-Trainers Refresher Training in Kaduna, marking a major step in the party’s digital transformation agenda.
Declaring the event open, the APC’s national chairman, Prof. Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda, represented by the Deputy National Chairman (North), Dr. Ali Bukar Dalori, said the initiative would modernise membership management and strengthen internal democracy.
“This training is key to preparing our structures for the next political cycle through innovation, discipline and unity,” Yilwatda stated.
The Coordinating Governor of the APC North West Zone and Governor of Kaduna State, Sen. Uba Sani, commended the effort, describing it as timely and strategic, “This training reflects our collective commitment to innovation, accountability and inclusion. Accurate and inclusive registration will enhance our party’s legitimacy and grassroots strength,” Sani said.
The Governor, who was represented by the Secretary to the State Government, Dr. Abdulkadir Meyare at the event, highlighted Kaduna’s progress in digital governance through initiatives, such as the Smart City Project and Open Government Partnership, urging participants to uphold transparency and integrity.
APC’s national organizing secretary, Alhaji Muhammad Sulaiman Argungu, said the exercise was part of the party’s drive for innovation and data-driven leadership.
“With the support of President Bola Tinubu, we are building a smart, transparent and accessible party. Every APC member must be visible, verifiable and valuable,” Argungu noted.
Chairman of the E-Registration Organising Committee, Lord Mayor Emma Eneukwu, explained that the digital process covers the seven North West states, comprising Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Kebbi, Sokoto, Zamfara and Jigawa, and requires members to present their National Identification Numbers (NIN) and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) registration numbers for verification.
He said the initiative would replace manual registration and promote the inclusion of youth, women and persons with disabilities.
The training featured technical sessions on digital tools, data protection and grassroots mobilisation, as part of the APC’s broader plan to digitise membership records and enhance planning ahead of the 2027 general elections.
