Kwarra promised that the exercise will be different from previous ones (which were marred by controversy) because it will be carried out using cutting-edge technology.
The NPC boss assured that there would be no manipulation of the census and that it would be credible.
As a result, he stated that the commission will use satellite images and GPS, and that every building in the country has been coded.
The NPC boss also revealed that Adhoc staff recruitment is primarily local, and that demarcation of enumerated areas has been completed in all 774 local governments ahead of the exercise’s conclusion on April 2.
He added, “This census is going to be different from past censuses. The theory and practice is essentially the same, but we’re using high-end technology to conduct this census and it’s such that nobody can tamper with any figure. Nobody will be counted more than once.
“We’re visiting households to do direct interface with the household, collect data and in the past, in past, if you’re doing an operational manually, it’s very cumbersome, but this is being aided by technology and I believe it’s going to be transparent and very fast and it is going to be verifiable because we are able to provide data up to the local government, up towards level. So it is something that you can always verify.”
