NPC Advocates Birth Registration in Gombe

National Population Commission, NPC, has urged parents in Gombe State to ensure birth registration for all children.

The Commission’s Head of Civil Registration and Vital Statistics in the state, Adedeji Adeniyi, made the appeal during an interview with newsmen on Tuesday.

Adeniyi said the call had become imperative in view of the large number of children whose births were not registered.

He stated that registering a child at birth was the first official document that any child should get because it gives the child an identity.
