The National Population Commission plans to spend N2.77bn on internet and connectivity for the data transmission of census data, Saturday PUNCH has learnt.

The NPC confirmed its preparedness in February 2023, as it received over 100,000 electronic devices and Personal Digital Assistance for the conduct of a successful and credible digital population and housing census.

It conducted a trial census with field works in six states and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, in July 2022. Speaking to our correspondent, the NPC spokesperson, Ishaya Yahaya, said the NPC had mapped out areas with poor networks, adding that the commission was in discussions with the NCC to resolve grey areas ahead of the 2023 census.

“We are also having discussions with the NCC to see how we can improve on network availability ahead of the census.”

Make unnna no count us again. 3BN o wa por juu 🤷‍♀️

The administration is planning to strip this country bare as they are drawing down ...! Less than months to go ,they are still brandishing papers and calling figures...!

At least, Yakubu spent N300B on that disaster he called election! The NPC chairman should get the script from Mr. Yakubu as not to waste energy carrying out the premeditated and rigged census because; we won't participate! He should better still, chill! BoycottCensus

We're just 250 million in this nation, so share the money no need to count again

Later they will revert to manual transmission. Chronic thieves.

BVASed

Liars

We don't need the count, give us the money let's count our selves. Enough of this rubbish, shear the money to Nigerians.

Who dey wan count? Until the election issues are corrected, let everything about Nigeria be on pause, plz.

INEC mess up is the greatest single source of trust deficit burden for NPC ahead of the 2023 National Census. How can NPC convince Nigerians that is not experimenting technology with taxpayers scarce money? What if there is technical 'glitch' just like Prof. Yakubu had?

Thiefry

After looting all the money they still rigg CENSUS figures according to their religion...

This is another Yakubu Mahmud before he will say the saver was hacked.
