This trial census will provide an opportunity to test the feasibility of the e-recruitment.<\/p>\n<p>Reeling out the significance of census to nation-building, Ajayi said population statistics would be used by private organisations to plan for the recruitment of young Nigerians by knowing the number of the active population.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe government will also use such statistics to plan for our youth, students and the health needs of Nigerians. They will also know the number of gerontocrats, who should be catered for\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Assuring that the exercise will be difficult to manipulate, the NPC boss said: \u201cTechnology is open to manipulation, but NPC has gone a step higher by having an updated technology innovation that can prevent multiple registrations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe biometric technology will capture your face and fingerprints and goes to the server and any similar information supplied will be noticed and expunged from the data immediately.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis time, no person, who is not seen will register as a Nigerian. We have put everything in place to ensure that this exercise will neither be hijacked nor politicised.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe commission has intensified preparatory activities deploying technological innovation on a massive scale to conduct truly scientific census that will not only be accurate and reliable, but also transparent to all Nigerians.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have also brought in some eggheads from our universities and retired experts from the civil service to train our workers for better efficiency,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The National Population Commission (NPC) has revealed that the federal government would employ one million Nigerians for the conduct of the 2023 National Census.
