The National Population Commission has said it had put up

measures to guard against all forms of malpractices ahead of

the forthcoming population and housing census.

The commission also stressed that citizens living away from

their states of origin do not need to travel to home for the

purpose of the exercise.

The spokesperson for the commission, Isiaka Yahaya, told

journalists that people would be enumerated at their places of

residence.

Yahaya said the commission had not finished the recruitment

process for enumerators.
