he National Population Commission NPC says it would recruit over one million Nigerians for the conduct of the 2023 National Census.
The Commissioner representing Ekiti at the NPC, Deji Ajayi, gave the indication at a news conference in Ado-Ekiti.
The commissioner assured that a reliable technological innovation will be deployed for the conduct of the exercise to prevent politicians and interested elites from hijacking or manipulating the process.
He noted that nine towns across nine local government areas, selected out of the 16 councils in the state, have been delineated into Enumerated Areas, EAs, to ease the trial census.
The councils include Ado, Emure, Iro, Ijero, Ikole, Iworoko, Ise, Ikun and Omuo Ekiti.
“This is the first time we will be doing a paperless census, everything will be digital to check corruption and bring about accurate data that can help national development,he said.
“Census is a massive operation that will engage one million personnel and managing such a huge workforce manually will raise huge logistical and documentation challenges.”
