This initiative, which was officially unveiled on Thursday, December 12, 2024 is designed to address the specific challenges faced by students, staff and local communities at the Njala Mokonde Campus. Under the leadership of Director General, Mohamed Mubashir Massaquoi, the mobile service initiative is set to provide a seamless solution to registration and ID services.

- Improved Operational Efficiency: The mobile service approach is in line with the NCRA’s ongoing efforts to streamline processes and improve the efficiency of service delivery.
- Strong Support for Presidential Vision: This initiative directly aligns with President Julius Maada Bio’s vision for greater stakeholder engagement and increased uptake of national ID cards.
- Expanded Reach: The NCRA has officially launched its mobile services at Njala Mokonde, with plans to extend its coverage to other academic institutions across the country in the near future.
Director General, Mohamed Mubashir Massaquoi, reaffirmed the NCRA’s commitment to providing equitable access to civil registration services and underscored the importance of this initiative in advancing national development.
The NCRA urges all eligible individuals to take full advantage of the mobile registration services to obtain their national ID cards, thus contributing to the building of a more connected and efficiently managed nation.
