The National Population Commission has stated that the insecurity that has bedevilled some parts of the country will not affect the 2023 population and housing census.
Datijo explained that the objective of the state-level compendium of localities workshop is to compile all the localities demarcated during the Enumeration Area Demarcation on local government area basis showing the coverage and location on interactive maps.
“The compendium of locality in census taking is a tool for census data dissemination and national planning and development. “The Enumeration Area Demarcation exercise collected data on all localities with a standard definition of the locality as a distinct population cluster in which the inhabitants live in neighbouring sets of living quarters has a name or a locally recognised status.”
He expressed disappointment over the low representation of local government chairmen and government officials at the workshop despite the invitation sent to them describing the chairmen as critical stakeholders in the process of getting the compendium of localities right.All rights reserved.
