The federal commissioner representing Ekiti State in NPC, Mr. Ayodeji Ajayi, who stated this yesterday in Ado Ekiti at a one-day capacity building workshop organised by the commission for journalists, said the agency had put machinery in motion to conduct  a successful exercise.

The workshop was designed to sensitise the journalists operating in the state on the commission’s preparedness towards the population and housing census slated to hold between March 29 and April 3, 2023.

He said the commission would continue to engage the media and other relevant stakeholders on all its activities, especially towards the forthcoming census.
