CENSUS: THE NPC ESTABLISHES COMMITTEES FOR SECURITY, LOGISTICS, AND PUBLICITY

The Delta Census 2023 Security/Logistics and Publicity/Advocacy committees were inaugurated on Friday by the National Population Commission, NPC.

Chief Richard Odibo, Federal Commissioner of NPC representing Delta, who inaugurated the committees in Asaba, stated that the occasion was important due to the breadth of the census.

He stated that it would entail numbering every citizen in the country.

He went on to say that the country's security challenges, as well as the need to raise awareness, justified the formation of these committees.

"The Security/Logistics Committee would also help in maintaining public peace and order around census activities and personnel.

"The committee will also help in securing National Population Commission offices, vehicles and equipment, among others.

"The Publicity/Advocacy Committee will help in carrying out public enlightenment and education as well as solicit support for the 2023 census, its process and procedures. It will also undertake advocacy visits as well as strategic engagements with key stakeholders at the state and local government levels," he said.
