,,,,,,The NPC boss, who also hinted that the commission might have to make more requests for financial provision, said the longer the exercise was delayed, the more likely its financial needs might expand.
“We briefed him fully on the level of our preparedness, the outcomes that we envisage and I’ll like to say that Mr President has graciously approved to support the Commission in the conduct of census and our preparatory activities, though we’re not,,,,,,stuck at all, but he has given us the courage and the impetus to upscale our preparation.
,,,,,,,“So, we’ll continue our preparations and we’ll hear from him eventually, the date that the census will take place because we’ve made a submission to him that he will study before getting back to us.
“But as for the assurance of support, he has given that to us and we thank him immensely for this for also realizing the importance…..of data for the purpose of national planning and development”, he said.
