ONLY PERSONS BELOW 18 WILL BE ISSUED BIRTH CERTIFICATE, SAYS NPC
The National Population Commission (NPC) says birth certificates will not be issued to persons older than 18 years of age.
The NPC State Director Oyo State, Mr Akin Oyetunde, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday in Ibadan that this is according to Act 1992, Birth and Death.He said, “The NPC is guided by an Act propagated in 1992, so any child born before 1992 will not be issued a birth certificate.
“Instead of a birth certificate, people born before 1992 and those over 18 years old will be given an Attestation of Birth.“However, those below 18 years old will be issued birth certificate by the commission.”
The Oyo State director added that all local governments in the state have birth and death registration centres.
He explained that “every local government has its own birth and death registration centres. No local government has less than three registration centres.
“The certificates issued at the centres are the same everywhere and acceptable wherever they’re tendered.”
On the postponed National Population and Housing Census earlier slated for 2023, Oyetunde said everything was set for the exercise.
He said, “We are prepared and we only need the federal government to give the go-ahead. All materials for the exercise have been distributed to local governments.“All those who are to take part in the census have been trained; all is set to hit the ground running.” (NAN)

**It’s either that this Mr. Akin Oyetunde doesn’t know mathematics very well, or that he is talking pure trash… 🗑️ 🗑️
Or maybe the newspapers reported him wrongly..
(Because, from 1992 to 2024 is actually 32yrs, and not 18yrs.. So, I don’t understand why they are trying to link those born before 1992 into this news article).
An Act was propagated in 1992, and according to the Act, any person below the age of 18yrs who registers their birth would get a Birth Certificate, but if the person didn’t register his/her birth until after 18yrs of age, then whenever he/she comes to register his/her Birth, he/she WON’T get a birth certificate any longer, but an Attestation of Birth.
**Nothing in the Act concerns being born before 1992.
