The National Population Commission (NPC) has said a total of one million Nigerians will be recruited for the conduct of the 2023 national census.

This was made known in a press conference by the commissioner representing Ekiti at the NPC, DEJI AJAYI, who said a trial census would be conducted in the state in preparation for next year’s main census exercise.

The commissioner assured that a reliable technological innovation had been advanced by the commission for the conduct of the exercise to prevent politicians and interested elite from hijacking or manipulating the process.
