The Lagos State Government has made registration with the Lagos State Residents Registration Agency mandatory for all school enrollments starting from the 2026/2027 academic session. Deputy Director of Public Affairs, Adepeju Adeyemi, announced that schools must now obtain and record the valid LASRRA registration number for every learner as part of the admission and enrolment process.
This directive, approved by Commissioner for Basic and Secondary Education Tolani Alli-Balogun, aims to establish a comprehensive and verifiable database of learners in Lagos, improve planning, monitoring, and service delivery, and strengthen learner identification and verification. Schools are directed to include each learner's LASRRA registration number in admission records and to inform parents and guardians about the requirement.
Parents whose children are yet to register with LASRRA are urged to complete the process before the new academic session. The Government has directed schools to handle learners' personal information confidentially and securely in line with data-protection requirements. The Lagos State Residents Registration Agency (LASRRA) will develop modalities for generating and assigning unique PINs to learners, and provide sensitisation, registration, and verification support to schools, parents, guardians, and learners.
Compliance with the directive will be monitored by the Office of Education Quality Assurance (OEQA).
