The federal government has indefinitely postponed training for the National Population Commission (NPC) enumerators and supervisors.

The NPC enumerators and supervisors’ training ahead of the 2023 national census was slated for April 13 before the postponement.

Ipalibo Harry, NPC’s chairman of the census committee, disclosed this in Abuja on Wednesday.

Mr Harry assured that the postponement would not affect the conduct of the population and housing census scheduled to hold from May 3 to 7.

He explained that the NPC was ready to conduct a credible census, adding that they had already concluded the training of quality data managers and others.

However, the census committee chairman said a new date for training the enumerators and supervisors would be communicated as soon as possible.
