 Ahead of the 2023 population and housing census, the National Population Commission MPC has engaged bloggers and social media influencers in order to get the buy-in of 900 youths to participate in the exercise. The chairman of MPC, Nasir Quara, while delivering his speech at the Interactive Workshop with bloggers and social media influencers in preparation for the 2023 population and housing census, which was organized by the MPC and the National Orientation Agency, said the estimation that over 60% of Nigerian's population is under 30 has not been captured in census exercise. Quara, who was represented by his special assistant Hoseini Ishakou, said a strategy should, of necessity, mainstream and robustly engage the social media and its influences towards achieving youth inclusiveness in the census figures. It has become an important tool for disseminating information. Most young Nigerians maintain social media accounts and receive information from the social media and we want to use this opportunity to talk to those who have wider reach within the social media to disseminate information about the census. Beyond that, we also expect that they use their medium to correct some of the negative information being perpetrated about the census. So we are calling them today for them to have more information about the census processes and methodology because we believe that they cannot perform this task effectively without adequate knowledge of what the commission is doing.
