The 2023 census data will be crucial for development planning and efficient budgeting, as it will be used to plan infrastructure development, social amenities, and job creation. The data will also improve business forecasting, projections, and the integrity of social research statistics.

To ensure accuracy and credibility, the commission has deployed technology and a data quality management system that prevents data manipulation. The country has also been divided into small areas to simplify data collection, and census workers will cover hard-to-reach areas.

With the new government set to utilize the 2023 census data for development planning, the NPC is committed to conducting a successful exercise that provides accurate and reliable data. The video released by the commission serves as a call to action for all Nigerians to participate in the exercise and contribute to the country’s growth and development.

The 2023 census exercise will undoubtedly be a significant milestone in Nigeria’s history, and the NPC’s plans are geared toward ensuring its success.
