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.

Finally, a thinking head! D benefit of biometric census is great. it will be useful for forensic and database information of Nigerians, it will annul number falsification and so on.

However, d efficiency of d system is more important, lest they are unable to complete d exerxise in 200days. cos we are still battling with INEC system.

However, FG shud work on database system dt update itself in terms of death and birth.

We are finally getting there.

Will some fanatics allow their locked up wives to do the biometrics?

This time around cows will not be counted.

This is Naija where the impossible can be made possible.
