NPC Gives Important Update On Census Adhoc Staff Recruitment Email Message
The National Population Commission (NPC) Management hereby issues a public notice regarding a fraudulent email that has been circulating, falsely claiming that certain individuals have been accepted for the position of Census Ad-hoc Staff.
We would like to clarify that the NPC is not currently conducting any recruitment exercise for the Census. It is important to note that the NPC had already completed the recruitment of personnel for the 2023 Census prior to its postponement, and preparations for training those who were recruited are currently underway.
In the event that there is a need to update the list of selected candidates in the future, prior to the Census exercise, such updates will be officially announced through national media channels, as well as the NPC’s social media platforms and official website.
We strongly urge all Nigerians to disregard the fraudulent email message and exercise caution to avoid falling victim to scammers and fraudsters.
The NPC remains committed to conducting a transparent and credible Census, and we appreciate the cooperation and understanding of the general public in this matter.
Thank you for your attention.
Meanwhile, The NPC chairman has acknowledged that the preparations for the census have already consumed N100 billion, representing a substantial investment for the country. However, he assured that future census exercises would be less expensive, as the current preparations establish a foundation that can be updated, utilizing advancements in information and communication technology (ICT) to save money.
Addressing concerns raised by the NPC commissioner in Ekiti State about the potential waste of N100 billion out of the N200 billion released to the commission if the census does not occur soon, Kwarra confirmed the additional expenses that may be incurred but assured that the President was receptive to their requests and fully aware of the implications of further delays.
Regarding the expenditure of N200 billion, Kwarra clarified that it had already been incurred, noting that conducting a digital census is costly, particularly for a foundational census. However, he emphasized that the census would generate resources that would more than compensate for the implementation cost, leaving surpluses in the government’s coffers upon completion.
When questioned about the investment aspect of the expenditure, considering that the commission is not a revenue-generating agency, Kwarra explained that the process of preparing for the census includes generating geospatial data, which has the potential to generate income for the government. He highlighted that this goes beyond mere scanned data and that the geospatial data collected will contribute to government revenue.
