We’re ready to conduct Nigeria’s first digitalised census — NPC.

The Federal Commissioner, National Population Commission, Prof. Uba Nnabue has assured the readiness of the commission to conduct the first fully digitalise census that would stand the test of time in the country.

Nnabue gave the assurance in his address at the one-day capacity-building workshop for journalists in Owerri Friday. He said that the 2023 census exercise scheduled to hold this March is in accordance with international best practices.

According to him, paperless, digitised data entry collection is not a new idea with the National Population Commission.

He said: “the use of the CSEntry as far back as 2013 NDHS Survey, 2015 Education Data Survey, and the creation of our own customized Census PAD, deployed successfully in the concluded trial census across the country were all evidently leading to the pathway of digital functionality”.
