In his welcome address to participants at the workshop in the Commission’s 2023 Census Situation room, the Executive Chairman of National Population Commission Hon. Nasir Isa Kwarra, said that over 60% of Nigeria’s population is under 30 and a good part of this under-16 demographic has never been captured in a census exercise, even though that demographic constitutes the greater part of Nigerian citizens who are active internet and social media users.
“For the forthcoming 2023 National Population and Housing Census to succeed in covering the youth population, there must be clear, deliberate and effective sensitization and mobilization strategies designed to reach that important youth segment of our society through mainstream and robust engagement of the social media and its influencers towards achieving youth inclusiveness in the census figures”, he said.
