Census 2023 : Absolute Confidentiality Guaranteed On All Information Sourced From You. . . NPC Asures Nigerians.

By Mike Aladenika.

The National Population Commission (NPC) has assured Nigerians that all their personal information which they would give to enumerators during the forthcoming population and housing census would be strictly confidential.

The Federal Commissioner representing Katsina State on the board of the National Population Commission, Mr Bala Almu-Banye, who made this disclosure at a meeting with media executives in the state, 

said  the purpose of the meeting was to update them on the level of preparedness  for the 2023 Census.

"We have recruited adequate ad- hoc staff for effective coverage of all the nooks and crannies of the entire state during the exercise. These ad-hoc staff are to work in their local governments of residence in order to achieve the set targets.

The Federal Commissioner, therefore, urged residents to cooperate with the enumerators and provide answers to the questions raised.

“The information will be treated as confidential and only for the purpose of the exercise. We have all sworn not to reveal people’s secrets, likewise, all the enumerators and supervisors will take oath before they start the exercise,” he said.

He further said that the information given to the enumerators would be digitally transmitted directly to the commission’s server through the Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), which is a machine like a mobile phone.

Almu-Banye further said that the NPC would work with traditional and community leaders to ensure that people who reside in hard-to-reach areas were counted.

He explained that such leaders would provide guides who would assist enumerators in reaching people in remote communities.

Responding on behalf of the media executives, the General Manager, Gram FM, Alhaji Bashir Ahmed, thanked the commission for carrying them along in the exercise. Gave assurances of support from media practitioners in the state.
