NPC Update On Fake Census Adhoc Staff Recruitment Email Message
Public Notice: Disregard Fake Recruitment Email from NPC
In an update issued yesterday, on July 11, 2023, the management of NPC (National Population Commission) has alerted the general public about a fraudulent recruitment email that has been circulated to certain individuals.
The notice reads as follows:
Public Notice: It has come to our attention that some individuals have received a deceptive email claiming that their application for the position of Census Ad-hoc Staff has been accepted.
We would like to inform the public that NPC is not currently conducting any recruitment process for the Census. Please be aware that NPC has already completed the recruitment of personnel for the 2023 Census before the exercise was postponed. The training for the recruited staff is about to commence. For further details, please refer to the NPC Census 2023 – Prepare For Training MGT To Adhoc Staff In New Invites.
If there is a need to update the list of selected candidates in the future prior to the Census exercise, the information will be officially announced through national media outlets, NPC’s social media platforms, and the official website.
We urge Nigerians to disregard the fake email and avoid falling victim to fraudulent individuals seeking to deceive them.
According to the Chairman of the National Population Census (NPC), Nasir Isa Kwarra, President Bola Tinubu will soon announce new dates for Nigeria’s national population and housing census. Kwarra made this statement after a meeting with the President, emphasizing that further delays in conducting the census would result in additional expenses.
Initially scheduled for May 3 to 7, 2023, during the administration of ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, the census was postponed by the Tinubu administration to a yet-to-be-determined date. Kwarra informed the President about the commission’s preparations for the census and stressed the significance of avoiding further delays, as it would incur more costs for the government.
The NPC chairman acknowledged that the preparations for the census have already consumed N100 billion, representing a substantial investment for the country. However, he assured that future census exercises would be less expensive, as the current preparations establish a foundation that can be updated, utilizing advancements in information and communication technology (ICT) to save money.
Addressing concerns raised by the NPC commissioner in Ekiti State about the potential waste of N100 billion out of the N200 billion released to the commission if the census does not occur soon, Kwarra confirmed the additional expenses that may be incurred but assured that the President was receptive to their requests and fully aware of the implications of further delays.
Regarding the expenditure of N200 billion, Kwarra clarified that it had already been incurred, noting that conducting a digital census is costly, particularly for a foundational census. However, he emphasized that the census would generate resources that would more than compensate for the implementation cost, leaving surpluses in the government’s coffers upon completion.
When questioned about the investment aspect of the expenditure, considering that the commission is not a revenue-generating agency, Kwarra explained that the process of preparing for the census includes generating geospatial data, which has the potential to generate income for the government. He highlighted that this goes beyond mere scanned data and that the geospatial data collected will contribute to government revenue.
