Oyo State residents have been assured by Dr Eyitayo Oyetunji, the Federal Commissioner of the National Population Commission (NPC) in the state, that a credible census will be conducted in 2023, to accurately reflect the number of people living in the state.
Dr Oyetunji stated this during a press briefing, where he made available the portal through which those interested in working for the commission during the census, can apply.
He said with the portal, www.2023censusadhocrecruitment.nationalpopulation.gov.ng, the commission is making the recruitment drive transparent ensuring sure that only qualified candidates are employed by the NPC for the exercise.
Oyetunji added that the commission had earlier launched the e-recruitment portal for the conduct of the 2022 trial census, which was a huge success, adding that this has laid the groundwork for the success of the forthcoming census.
The Oyo NPC boss, therefore, charged interested candidates to go to the portal to apply for the positions they are interested in, adding that the number of those recruited would be determined by the number of workers needed in each local government area.
He, therefore, noted that applying for any position is free of charge, while urging prospective candidates to be wary of those who might be asking them for money to assist them with the application.
