The Chairman of the National Population Commission Nasir Isa Kwarra said the commission will try as much as possible to reduce the huge logistics of moving personnel from one place to the other across the country. This target he hopes to achieve by employing the bulk of the personnel for the 2023 census exercise from the communities where they are residents. Consequently, every community will be allowed to contribute to the workforce by ensuring that the people are adequately counted.

He further said that the recruitment process will greatly show the quality of data to be collected and ultimately the success of the 2023 census exercise.

He said, “To us in the Commission, the quality of staff that will perform the census activities is very important. Therefore, having good knowledge of the content of the census document, the technique and the organization of the census process is key to the success of the 2023 Population and Housing Census.

“While a good recruitment exercise will not by itself necessarily guarantee a successful census, a badly conducted recruitment process will inevitably lead to problems and increase the risk of an unsuccessful census.
