SAMBISA FOREST TO HOST CENSUS: NPC

Census will take place in Sambisa Forest despite security concerns, according to the National Population Commission. On Thursday, February 9, at the inauguration of the population and housing national census publicity committee in Abuja, NPC Chairman Nasiru Isa Kwarra made this announcement.

“Your village has been covered, I can promise you of that. Nothing has escaped our travels. Even the Sambisa Forest, where we face security issues, was visited by our employees. Therefore, I can tell you that no one will be overlooked throughout the census procedure.

Additionally, every structure has been photographed and geo-coded. The approach and caliber of the census preparations during the past few years have been influenced by this objective. It is impossible to overstate the importance of advocacy, publicity, and public education, he stated.
