The National Population Commission (NPC) has launched a call
centre in preparation for the 2023 Population and Housing Census.
The Chairman of the commission, Alhaji Nasir Kwarra, said at
the launch in Abuja on Tuesday that NPC had intensified preparatory activities
for the successful conduct of the first digital census in Nigeria.
He said “the launch of this integrated call centre for the
2023 census is yet another major step toward making the head count a resounding
success.
“It also underscores our commitment toward providing
demographic data for national planning.”
He described population census as “a people-oriented
activity that seeks to capture the demographic characteristics of the populace
across the length and breadth of the country.”
The chairman emphasised the imperatives of putting in place
a platform for constant interaction between the commission and the people
through which information could be obtained, clarified, and feedback received
on the census process.
According to him, the call centre is equipped with modern
Information and Communication Technology facilities for video conferencing,
emails, and telephony to facilitate effective communication for the census.
Kwarra explained that “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.
“Enquiries from the public to the commission about the
census process, on-field activities and other census frequently asked questions
are expected to be responded to by trained personnel.
