Ouagadougou: The President of the Special Delegation (PDS) of Fada N'Gourma, Kampadiba Jerome Idani, received a certificate of recognition from the General Directorate of the National Identification Office (ONI) on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, for his efforts in promoting the right to identity.

According to Burkina Information Agency, the certificate was awarded to Idani during the 2026 edition of the International Day of Identity, known as "ID Day." This recognition was given in acknowledgment of his commitment to mobilizing the population during the issuance of Burkinabe National Identity Cards (CNIB).

The PDS of Fada N'Gourma highlighted that the recognition also appreciates the support provided in terms of enrollment site provision and the administrative reserve for constructing a building for the regional identification branch. "This is in recognition of my commitment and contribution in mobilizing the population during the CNIB issuance operations, supporting the acquisition of enrollment sites and making available an administrative reserve to accommodate the construction of a R+ building for the benefit of the regional identification branch to facilitate the issuance of CNIBs and passports in the municipality of Fada N'Gourma," Idani stated.

Idani dedicated the distinction to his collaborators who contribute to the success of identity-related operations benefiting the citizens of Fada N'Gourma. He emphasized that identity issues are particularly important in the current security context, as confirming citizenship requires verifying individual identities.

The recognition underscores local efforts to enhance access to identification services and facilitate the acquisition of identity documents for the population.
