The National Population Commission (NPC) says Nigeria’s population remains its greatest asset in national development and must be harnessed to make life worth living for the people.
NPC’s Federal Commissioner for Katsina State, Engr. Bala Banye made the declaration on Thursday in Katsina at a two-day state-level workshop on a compendium of localities for the 2023 population and housing census.
“I commend the Cartography Department for its efforts to deliver more data for the locality level from the EAD exercise. He said the objective of the workshop was to compile all the localities demarcated during the EAD on a local government area basis showing the coverage and location on interactive maps.
He assured Nigerians that the Commission was irrevocably committed to positively rewriting the history of censuses in Nigeria. “I appeal to Nigerians to join the NPC in the bid to give Nigeria reliable demographic data at the forthcoming 2023 census,’’ Banye said.
