Imo: NPC will conduct census first quarter of 2022 - Commissioner

Speaking during a press conference on the commencement of fieldwork for the second pre-test for population and housing census, the NPC Federal Commissioner in Imo State, Prof. Uba Nnabue said the exercise is subject to the President’s approval.

He emphasized that the fieldwork and data collection for the 2nd Pre-test that has commenced in all the 4 L.G.A selected in Imo State, will be carried out by 4 teams in Isu, Nwangele, Ehime Mbano and Mbaitoli L.G.A. “In this pre-test exercise, some selected Enumeration Areas in 4 LGAs in all States of the Federation and FCT demarcated between 2014 to 2021 of the EAD will be involved. A total of 148 LGAs will be involved in the 36 States of the Federation and the FCT and the census instruments will be deployed to these areas to test run their suitability and readiness for the actual census.”

”We would like to caution that the Pre-test is not the actual census but the mirror through which we look at our readiness for the next census. All efforts must be geared towards making it a huge success by all.
