NPC said Nigerians should note that the EAD for the 2005 census was never designed to be an exercise in boundary adjustment or alteration of boundaries of any community, ward, local council or state. The NPC Federal Commissioner for Plateau State, Chief John Kum, stated this on Tuesday at a press briefing in Jos. According to him, "our rule is to count and not alter boundaries". Kum assured Nigerians that next year's census would be reliable. He said the commission would ensure that adequate, accurate and reliable demographic data were made available to all categories of planners and researchers in the country. He appealed to the state government, local councils and the organised private sectors to assist the commission in the provision of logistics, publicity and donation of materials and equipment. "The provision of vehicles and other means of transportation by the local councils would be appreciated. "The commission also expects the local councils and state governments to put at our disposal means and organs of information dissemination. The assistance of the Plateau Radio and Television Corporation and the Nigerian Television Authority and other media organisations in the state will be appreciated", Kum said. He added that any assistance rendered to the commission in the conduct of the 2005 census would turn out to be an investment for the country. The commissioner disclosed that arrangements had been put in place to ensure a hitch-free fieldwork, adding that the quality of the EAD project was largely a function of skills. � 2003 - 2004 @ Guardian Newspapers Limited (All Rights Reserved).  Powered by dnetsystems.net dnet�
