Oh Yes it can be done. And l don't understand why our Governors and Local Government Authorities are lethargic about it.
Is it for lack of funds, ideas or a case of compromise as many people say or plain complacency.?
Happily the Presidency itself has come out to admit that a lot of the Atrocities ascribed to Fulanis were done by Foreign Fulanis.
And lately Buhari has appealed to the Traditional Rulers through the Ooni to separate Criminal Fulanis from genuine Local Fulanis that we are accustomed to as fellow citizens.
So what then is next if not immediate certification and verification of the Foreigners in our localities.
What and how to go about it ? Simple.
Let the Government of each State summon it's Council Authorities and give them marching Orders on registration of all non indigenes in their Local Government Areas.
A Ledger for each Ward with directives and ultimatum for all non indigenes to register with Columns on details of Bio-data and phone numbers, State and Local Government of Origin backed by Identification Certificate obtained from Local Government of Origin, Particulars of the Host Community Landlord, Occupation of the Tenant and each of his dependant. Vehicle particulars if any.
For counter checking, let each Amotekun formation through a special Elite Squad have access to the Ledgers for constant monitoring.
It makes certification and verification of claims easy for Security and Surveillance easy.
Honestly the State Government and Local Government Authorities have a lot to do in safeguarding the lives, properties and well-being of all who reside in the State.
All the requirements of GSM synchronisation with BVN and National ID Cards are Security measures which should inspire all.
