Federal commissioner representing Edo State in the National Population Commission (NPC), Dr Tony Aiyejina, has said the shift in the 2023 general election by
the Independent National Electoral Commission was the major reason why the agency postponed the 2023 population census.
He, however, assured that whenever the exercise comes up, it would not only be accurate, but it would be reliable and auditable, and mark a clear departure from the controversies that trailed the censuses of the past; maintaining that the introduction of the Personal Digital Assistant machines would eliminate all human errors of the past exercises.
