4000 AD HOC STAFF TRAINED IN KARU LGA

National Population Commission (NPC) has trained 4000 ad hoc staff in Karu Local Government Area of Nasarawa State to facilitate trial census in the area. NPC Federal Commissioner for Nasarawa State, Mr Silas Agara, made this known at a town hall meeting organized by the commission in the area. He explained that the activities of the fieldwork during the exercise include: building numbering and household listing from July 13 to July 15; validation of Enumeration Areas from July 16 to July 18; Person Enumeration from July 19 to July 25 and Enumeration mop up from July 26 to 30. Agara appealed for maximum support from residents of Karu Local Government Area to ensure a successful exercise.

He said the 2023 exercise will be digitalised hence the need for the mock exercise to prepare the commission. Earlier, Nasarawa State Deputy Governor, Dr Emmanuel Akabe, who attended the town hall meeting, explained that he and the governor were very happy that Karu was one of the six local government areas across the country chosen by the commission for a full population enumeration and called on people in the area to support the commission in making the exercise a success. On his part, the Etsu Karu, Luka Panya-Baba, commended the NPC for choosing Karu as one of the local government areas to carry out the mock census and assured that all chiefs, district heads and other leaders in the area would be mandated to emphasise the importance of the exercise so people of the area can make themselves available to be counted.

By JASAWA TIMES Opinion Desk The ongoing debate surrounding indigeneship and the status of Hausa communities in Jos North is once again forcing Plateau State to confront difficult questions that have remained unresolved for decades. Across social media, courtrooms, and political spaces, arguments continue over who truly belongs, who qualifies as an indigene, and who should have access to recognition under the system that governs identity in Nigeria. But perhaps there is a question many people are deliberately avoiding. If Hausa communities are not considered part of Plateau enough to be recognised, why are they considered important enough whenever elections approach? This is a question worth serious reflection.
