The All Progressives Congress (APC) national chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje, said the party has resolved to introduce an electronic registration of its members to ascertain their actual number across the country and to ease the implementation of its agenda.
He said the move is aimed at knowing the quality as well as the variety of data of its membership nationwide.
The immediate past governor of Kano State disclosed this on yesterday when he received members of the state’s Correspondents’ Chapel of the Kano State Council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ).
“We are introducing electronic registration of our members, not only to know the actual numbers but also to know the quality of the data and the variety of the data.
“You will know precisely the age groups of members of your party, because if you want to hit a particular age group you will be able to address it depending on your need assessment of that age group.
“Sometimes when we operate in an analogue position we can hardly know the number of our membership.
“You know, there are issues of sex, age, profession, educational level and so on. So, it will give us data that will help us while campaigning, we will know how to hit our targets” Ganduje stated.
“While in government, it will also help us to see what promises that we have made to a particular age group or particular sex group to be able to guide governance in order to implement what we promised to the people” he added.
However, the party had observed the high level of unemployment in the country, especially among youth, which the national chairman said, informed the party’s decision to organise a national conference to that effect.
Ganduje also said “We will soon know how we can modernize or reform our national curriculum, even including university curriculum so that the graduates we will produce will be employable graduates not unemployable graduates like we are having now,,” he concluded.
