The National Population Commission (NPC) has officially unveiled its e-recruitment portal to recruit ad-hoc staff ahead of the 2023 population and housing census.

The initiative, which marks the beginning of the massive online recruitment process for the census exercise, provides a platform where Nigerians from all demography and gender can fill out the online form, get equal opportunities and register to be recruited with minimum bias.

The Executive Chairman of NPC, Nasir Isa-Kwara, who launched the e-recruitment portal at the NPC headquarters in Abuja, said the bulk of personnel for the 2023 census will be drawn from the communities where they reside.

National Population Commission warns against fake recruitment website for 2025 Census

In his address at the occasion, the NPC boss maintained that the recruitment process will reflect greatly on the quality of data to be collected and ultimately, the success of the 2023 census. He said:

  • “This will remove the huge logistics of moving personnel across the country. Consequently, every community will have the opportunity of contributing to the census workforce thereby ensuring that the people are adequately counted.
  • “To us in the commission, the quality of staff that will perform the census activities is very important. Therefore, having good knowledge of the content of the census document, the technique and the organization of the census process is key to the success of the 2023 Population and Housing Census.
  • “While a good recruitment exercise will not by itself necessarily guarantee a successful census, a badly conducted recruitment process will inevitably lead to problems and increase the risk of an unsuccessful census.
  • “The launch of the online e-recruitment portal for the 2023 census at the headquarters marks the beginning of the online recruitment process whereby Nigerians from all demography and gender can hook on to the website that will be provided by the commission to fill the online form and get themselves registered to be recruited.”

25 million applicants expected: While addressing journalists, NPC’s census manager, Inuwa Jalingo, said the Commission is expected to receive over 25 million applications for the available jobs, adding that there was a need for the process to be competitive, reliable, and transparent. He said:

  • “The adoption of the e-recruitment approach is to ensure widespread applications from all over the localities in the country, minimize bias and ascertain that all qualified Nigerians are given equal opportunity to apply and be recruited and ensure that no one is left behind.
  • “The Commission adopts an 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 a different category of ad-hoc staff.”

The basic requirements for the application: Jalingo maintained that the categories of staff to be recruited are facilitators, training centre administrators, monitoring & evaluation officers, data quality managers, data quality assistants, supervisors, enumerators, and special workforce.

He listed the basic requirements for the application to include: national identification number, valid and functional Gmail account, valid and functional phone number, valid and functional /operational commercial bank account (no student/NYSC account) valid educational qualifications, and referees.

He also noted that knowledge on the use of computers, tablets & smartphones is an added advantage.

You may recall that earlier in July 2022, the NPC had disowned an online ad-hoc staff recruitment portal said to be for the 2023 census, insisting that the link was fake.

A top official of NPC had said then that the commission would in a few months open a portal and invite Nigerians to apply online for the conduct of the 2023 census, adding that it expects to recruit over one million Nigerians for the exercise.

    If there is no hidden agenda, why must we conduct election and censor the same year. something is wrong with our leaders, they are more interested in what goes to their pockets than national progress, we preferred to waste money. This is 21st century where the use of computer tech is everywhere, I expect Nigeria to conduct their last and final censor after putting in place a good structures for regular updates (updating death and birth) in each local government. Have you heard or seen any of the developed country conducting yearly censor? it is because they have a solid structures in place that takes care of that. Nigeria can never develop with this warped ideology, our rules and laws must be updated to accommodate changes that will make us move forward, we cannot remain stagnant with archaic ideas.

      Dude, there’s NOTHING like a “last and final census”!

      Population enumeration is a CONTINUING exercise globally, with a major count held every 10 years in many advanced nations. Nigeria is LONG OVERDUE for its major census exercise, and if it cannot handle both a census and a general election in the same calendar year, it should quit trying to be a country and become a joke instead!

    Please,I can’t complete my application form. I don’t know is it because I started my registration before the system was shutdown or is because I mistakenly apply as npc staff.
