Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo has tasked the National Population Commission on the need to conduct a very credible census in 2023.
The governor said: “You can’t plan without statistics. If you can’t measure it, you can’t change it. I want our people to take this census seriously because going forward, it will aid in national development. “We focus on communities that have the greater numbers because we are serving the people. The NPC has lots of work to do. Your promise to offer a digital, reliable, credible and acceptable data is a good thing.”
“For some unknown reasons, we have been afraid to confront the truth. People throw numbers and extrapolate. The truth is we don’t know the number of people we are planning for.
