The event which comes up on Thursday will be moderated by Prof. Lere Baale, chief executive of Business School Netherlands (BSN) in Nigeria and director of National Economy Newspaper.
On his acceptance to participate, Aladekomo said an effective national identity management system is critical to the development of any economy, saying ‘‘It provides a universal identification infrastructure for a country because it enables access and means to confirm the identity of individuals residing in a country.’’
