According
to reports, the Sokoto State federal commissioner, National Population
Commission, Barrister Muhammadu Aminu Jason has divulged that the 2018 census
will be biometric based to avoid human errors.
Aminu insisted that, as a prelude the commission will today
commence the third phase of Enumeration Area Demarcation (EAD) in Illela local
government area of Sokoto State.
According to Aminu, the significance of the EAD
exercise goes beyond the conduct of the 2018 census hence it will be used
as an established national data for generating accurate locality list including
house numbering for subsequent census.
He noted that the commission had previously
demarcated 37 local government areas in all the 36 states of the federation
including Federal Capital Territory, Abuja in the previous EAD exercise. The federal commissioner insisted that Nigerians have no reason whatsoever not to
believe the outcome of the 2018 census, as according to him, they are deploying
sophisticated technology in carrying out the EAD excercise.
