NPC Chairman, Festus Odimegwu
National Population Commission (NPC) Chairman, Festus Odimegwu has been preparing Nigerians’ minds towards the national census slated for 2016.
He
has promised to conduct and deliver to Nigerians the first ever accurate,
credible and reliable census. He is confident that the exercise will develop a
national regulation data infrastructure, which all data users in Nigeria can
plug into for national development and global competitiveness.
As
much as I share in his optimism, I still believe there is need to learn from
the mistakes of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) during the recent
SIM registration exercise.
One
wonders why in spite of the huge fund assigned to the SIM registration, the
exercise is still being trailed by harvests of complaints by GSM subscribers as
information were allegedly muddled up in the exercise.
This
is why Odumegwu and his staff should do their homework well before the 2016
exercise. That is if he would ever get to conduct the exercise given the
trouble he has plunged himself into in respect of some of his utterances
