He said that most of the issues affecting the country would be over when the census was thoroughly conducted, adding that the exercise would show the government where the problems are.
“The data that is required is more about where you reside and not your village or state because the essence of the data is to solve people’s problems wherever you are.
“The country needs to know the composition and the dynamics of its population and as such, people should be counted wherever they are.”
