The National Population Commission has officially launched
its e-recruitment portal to recruit ad hoc staff for the 2023 national
population and housing census.
Speaking at the launching of the portal in Abuja, the

crucial to have best hands for the census.
The Census Manager, Inuwa Jalingo, said the Commission was

that there was a need for the process to be competitive, reliable and
transparent.
He said, “The adoption of e-Recruitment approach is to
ensure widespread applications from all over the localities in the country,
minimise bias and ascertain that all qualified Nigerians are given equal
opportunity to apply and be recruited and ensuring that no one is left behind.
“The Commission
adopts e-Recruitment portal to recruit ad hoc staff for the 2023 Population and
Housing Census. This portal has been tested during Pre-test and Trial Census
and has been greatly improved to serve different category of ad-hoc staff.”
Earlier, the Director, Employment and Wages at the Ministry

NPC, Dr. Isiaka Yahaya, explained that the exercise is not just recruitment but
a key preparatory activity to the 2023 census, adding that it is a
