The National Population Commission has stated that it is not currently recruiting ad-hoc staff for the conduct of 2025 Population and Housing Census.
A statement on Thursday issued by Erelu Taibat Yemi Oloruntoba, Director, Public Affairs, NPC, said the attention of the Commission has been drawn to a fake website:https://qpetition.org/NPC-Ad-Hoc-Staff-Recruitment.html created by some mischief makers concerning the purported recruitment for the 2025 Population and Housing Census with the intention to defraud unsuspecting citizens.
“The Commission wishes to inform the public that it is not undergoing any census Ad-hoc Staff recruitment exercise at the moment as President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR has not issued a proclamation date for the conduct of the next Population and Housing Census.
