The Abia State Government has intensified efforts to ensure that all indigenes and residents obtain their Abia State Social Identification Number (ABSSIN), emphasizing its importance in accessing government services and social welfare programs.
The Commissioner for Budget and Planning, Kingsley Anosike, reiterated that ABSSIN is a unique identity system designed to provide every resident with a verifiable identification number, which will facilitate the efficient allocation of state resources.
Why ABSSIN Matters
The government has clarified that ABSSIN is not a new initiative but an essential tool for ensuring that residents benefit from various social and economic programs. The system is designed to link individuals to critical government services, including:
✅ Social welfare benefits✅ Free and quality healthcare services✅ Student scholarships✅ Economic empowerment programs✅ Other state intervention opportunities
Government’s Call to Action
To enhance compliance, the state government has deployed trained enumerators to conduct door-to-door registrations in homes, offices, markets, schools, motor parks, churches, and communities. Residents also have the option to self-register online via abiapay.com through a simple and seamless process.
The registration is completely free, and the government has warned against any attempts at extortion. Residents are encouraged to report anyone demanding payment for the process.
ABSSIN: A Step Towards Smarter Governance
Officials maintain that ABSSIN is crucial for improving governance, planning, and service delivery. By maintaining an up-to-date database of residents, the government can implement targeted policies and social intervention programs that benefit the people directly.
Commissioner Anosike reassured residents that their data would be securely managed and used only for developmental purposes, dismissing concerns about potential misuse. He urged every Abian to take advantage of the registration process to ensure they are properly documented in the state’s social and economic plans.
