Mr. Okereke emphasized the importance of sustaining and reinforcing the relevance of these activities to ensure the successful conduct of the 2023 census.

“The most important task before the commission is to sustain and reinforce the relevance of these activities to the successful conduct of the 2023 census. This will ensure that the nation does not have to start afresh with the preparations, thereby saving cost. The Commission has laid a solid foundation for future censuses,” Okereke stated.
