According to him, the goal of the National Stakeholders Summit is to raise and maintain public knowledge of the conduct of the 2023 Census, including its requirements, methodology, and timetables, as well as to enlist the assistance and support of significant stakeholders.
Presentations on the state of the 2023 Census preparations, the methodology and procedures to be used, technology advancements, and impending preparatory events in the census calendar will be included.
The National Stakeholders Summit, as gathered by theGazetteNGR, is planned to draw senior government figures from the Federal and State levels, as well as representatives from the media, traditional institutions, civil society actors, religious organisations, women’s and youth organisations, academia, the commercial sector, and development partners.
