The Director-General, National Orientation Agency, Dr Garba Abari, has said that the 2023 National Population and Housing Census will be conducted digitally to ensure credibility and efficiency.

He made this known to newsmen in Abuja.

Abari, who is a member of the National Publicity and Advocacy Committee on Census, said the exercise would be facilitated by the use of digital technology, contrary to previous census conducted in the country.

The National Population Commission says 99 per cent of all houses, structures within the enclave of Nigeria’s territory have been captured digitally, far beyond what google can provide in terms of specificity.
