Everyone who lives and earns a living in Lagos should stand up and be counted, writesIf everything works out according to plan, the 2023 National Population and Housing Census is scheduled to be held in April after the general election in February and March 2023.
Similarly, it provides basic data for all sectors in the country with a view to contributing to the formulation, monitoring and evaluation of plans related to the provision of services needed. Additionally, Census gives an accurate picture of the status and features of houses for the purpose of assisting in drawing up housing and construction plans for the future.
Everyone who resides in Lagos must be part of the coming census. It is not right for people living and earning their living in the state to travel out of Lagos during the exercise. That will be tantamount to short-changing the state in the scheme of things. As usual, Governor Sanwo-Olu is not leaving any stone unturned in the bid to draw the attention of Lagosians to the coming exercise. He has launched the 2023 Census Implementation and Strategy Plan. Besides, he has also announced the setting up of five additional committees in line with the National Population Commission’s strategy and vision. This is in addition to the Technical Committee he had earlier set up.
