The Lagos State Government has made registration with the Lagos State Residents Registration Agency (LASRRA) mandatory for the enrolment of learners in all public and private schools across the state, beginning from the 2026/2027 academic session.

Under the new directive, schools are required to obtain and record the valid LASRRA registration numbers of learners as part of the admission and enrolment process from Monday, September 14, 2026.

The directive, approved by the Commissioner for Basic and Secondary Education, Jamiu Tolani Alli-Balogun, is being implemented through the Office of Education Quality Assurance (OEQA) to establish a comprehensive and verifiable database of learners in Lagos.

Alli-Balogun said the initiative would strengthen planning, monitoring and service delivery in the education sector by providing government with reliable data on learners.

He added that the registration would improve school record-keeping, learner identification and verification, facilitate tracking and support evidence-based decision-making by government agencies.

Consequently, schools have been directed to include learners’ LASRRA registration numbers in their admission and school records, while sensitising parents and guardians about the new requirement.

Schools are also expected to advise parents whose children or wards are yet to register with LASRRA to complete the process before the commencement of the new academic session.

The government, however, directed schools to ensure that learners’ personal information is handled securely and confidentially in line with applicable data-protection standards.

The Director-General of OEQA, Dr. Sulaimon Olagoke Ogunmuyiwa, said his office, in collaboration with LASRRA and other relevant agencies, would develop modalities for generating and assigning unique PINs to learners.

He added that sensitisation, registration and verification support would be provided to schools, parents, guardians and learners.

Ogunmuyiwa further disclosed that compliance with the directive would form part of OEQA’s monitoring and quality-assurance activities across public and private schools in Lagos.

He urged parents, guardians and school proprietors to ensure that their children, wards and learners are registered with LASRRA before the commencement of the 2026/2027 academic session, stressing that the requirement is mandatory.
