A commissioner with the National Population Commission (NPC), Mr Joseph Shazin Kwali, has said the postponement of the 2023 house census exercise by the immediate past administration has given the commission the opportunity to further prefect its processes and system for conduct of the first ever digital census in the country. 

According to him, the commission has carried out all the preparatory activities towards the census such as Enumeration Area Demarcation (EAD) conduct of pre -test and trial census, recruitment and training of census field staff, procurement and configuration of personal digital assistant among others.

He called on media organizations on the need to continue to sensitize the public of the significance of the house census exercise, even as he informed the commission that the FCT permanent secretary, Adesola Olusade has pledged his support to the commission anytime the exercise will commence in the FCT.
