The former president said “The census should lead to real demarcation of constituencies which we have run away from since 2006.”
The NPC assured that it would not leave any stone unturned in its bid to conduct a credible national census in 2023.
To mark the commencement of the exercise, the commission accredited the president in his country home in Daura, Katsina State.
“This call centre will serve as an information hub for a seamless interface between NPC and the public before, during and after the census exercise.”
The Commission said the census would provide demographic data for sustainable national planning and development.
The proposed census for 2022 will now be conducted after the general elections in 2023.
The NEF recently boasted that the north has the population to dominate Nigeria for decades.
