The Federal Commissioner representing Benue State at the National Population Commission, NPC, Mrs. Patricia Kupchi says the world is waiting for Nigeria to conduct its population census and the commission is ready to deliver a credible, reliable, acceptable and verifiable census to the country.
Mrs. Kupchi said “The world is waiting for Nigeria to conduct its census and we are fully ready to undertake the task. The exercise may have been postponed but activities towards the census are ongoing. “For us it is not time to rest because census has not happened. The postponement has not left us idle. Those that have been trained are being retrained. By so doing we are fine-tuning our processes and checking where there could be lapses or challenges during the exercise and have them tackled ahead of time so that when Mr. President does the proclamation we will not be caught napping. We are therefore waiting for the marching order.
Mrs. Kupchi who also spoke elaborately on other activities of the NPC urged the officers and personnel of the Nigerian Navy to alway ensure the registration of the birthday of their children as well as any incidents of deaths in families at the NPC offices.
