Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The National Population Commission (NPC), has disclosed that the Federal Government will recruit a total of one million Nigerians for the conduct of the 2023 National Census.<\/p>\n

The agency also assured that a reliable technological innovation had been advanced by the NPC for the conduct of the exercise to prevent politicians and interested elites from hijacking or manipulating the process.<\/p>\n

The Commissioner representing Ekiti at the NPC, Mr. Deji Ajayi, said this in Ado Ekiti, on Monday, at a press conference heralding the trial census to be conducted in Ekiti preparatory to next year\u2019s main census exercise.<\/p>\n

The former Ekiti State Head of Service added that nine towns across nine local governments selected out of the 16 councils in the state had been delineated into Enumerated Areas(EAs) to ease the trial census.<\/p>\n

The retired Permanent Secretary said areas to be enumerated in the trial census in Ekiti include: Ado, Emure, Iro, Ijero, Ikole, Iworoko, Ise, Ikun, and Omuo Ekiti.<\/p>\n

Ajayi said: \u201cThis 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cCensus is a massive operation that will engage one million personnel and managing such a huge workforce manually will raise huge logistical and documentation challenges.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is in recognition of this fact that the NPC resolved that recruitment for the 2023 census will be done electronically. This trial census will provide opportunity to test the feasibility of e-recruitment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reeling out the significance of census to nation-building, Ajayi said population statistics would be used by private organisations to plan for the recruitment of young Nigerians by knowing the number of the active population.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe government will also use such statistics to plan for our youth, students and the health needs of Nigerians. They will also know the number of gerontocrats, who should be catered for,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Assuring that the exercise will be difficult to manipulate, the NPC boss said: \u201cTechnology is open to manipulation, but NPC has gone a step higher by having an updated technology innovation that can prevent multiple registrations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe biometric technology will capture your face and fingerprints and goes to the server and any similar information supplied will be noticed and expunged from the data immediately.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis time, no person, who is not seen will register as a Nigerian. We have put everything in place to ensure that this exercise will neither be hijacked nor politicised.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe commission has intensified preparatory activities deploying technological innovation on a massive scale to conduct a truly scientific census that will not only be accurate and reliable but also transparent to all Nigerians.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have also brought in some eggheads from our universities and retired experts from the civil service to train our workers for better efficiency\u201d, he stated.<\/p>\n
