Census 2022: NPC trains 200 personnel for EAD exercise in Zamfara
The National Population Commission (NPC) says it has trained more than 200 personnel in updating Enumeration Area Demarcation (EAD) in four local government areas of Zamfara State.
The NPC Federal Commissioner in charge of Zamfara, Muhammad Muttaka-Rini, disclosed this to journalists on Saturday in Gusau.
Mr Muttaka-Rini said that the training was in preparation for the 2022 Population and Housing Census.
“The exercise will cover LGAs demarcated previously across the 36 states of the federation and the FCT.
“In Zamfara, the exercise is currently going on in Bakura, Bungudu Gusau and Maradun LGAs,” he said.
He explained that the objective of the EAD was to bring the Enumeration Area (EA) maps up to date with the current realities using the latest EAD pad application and updating methodology.
“Others are to recapture and analyse the rate of change in EA.
“The exercise is, therefore, based on advancement in technology and an untiring desire for the commission to conduct a digital and credible census that will meet global standards.
“It will also involve revising and listing of all new buildings and households using the current improved methodology,” he added.
According to him, it will also involve completing the mop-up exercise for some areas that could not be demarcated in previous phases of the EAD due to security threats and other reasons.
