Anambra won’t repeat the mistake of 2006 census – Gov Soludo

Anambra governor, Chukwuma Soludo, has said the state government will ensure total mobilisation and participation of the residents of the state in the national population census slated for next month.

 

 

Soludo said the move was to avoid the repetition of the error of the last edition of the census where South-East residents shunned the exercise.

 

 

 

The governor disclosed that the government used the opportunity of the campaigns ahead of the recent elections to send the message to the nooks and crannies of the state.

 

 

 

Soludo spoke on Thursday when he inaugurated the Security/Logistics and Publicity sub-committees of the National Population Commission (NPC) in Anambra.

 

 

 

The governor, who was represented at the event by Prof. Solo Chukwulobelu, said census was as crucial as election as it was a tool for effective governance which was the essence of the existence of government.

 

 

 

Communities, churches, civil societies organisations and other community-based stakeholders were encouraged to join in the planning and enlightenment efforts of the Federal and Anambra governments in the state.

 

 

 

Soludo also directed all the state media channels to develop a message on the census which would be played before and after every news hour.

 

 

 

On his part, Chidi Ezeoke, Federal Commissioner representing Anambra in the NPC, said the sub-committees were imperative to the success of the national population and housing census in the State.

 

 

 

Mr Ezeoke assured that the Commission would deploy digital technology in the conduct of the census and no stone would be left unturned in its resolve to generate quality and internationally acceptable data for informed planning. CONTINUE READING…………………………………………
