Nasir Isa Kwarra, the Executive Chairman of the National Population Commission (NPC), announced on Saturday that the commission would hire 1.5 million ad hoc workers for the nation’s scheduled April 2020 census.
Kwarra claimed the procedure would be digitalized to guarantee the correctness of the generated numbers during a radio programme in Abuja.
He said: “The methodology for the next census has been designed to produce not only accurate, reliable and acceptable census, but also inclusive and user-friendly census data.”
The country’s last national census took place in 2007.
