Kwarra said this at a news conference on the imperatives of PES for credible census, on Monday in Abuja.

Kwarra who reiterated the commitment of the commission to credible census, stressed that the PES would guarantee that.

According to him, PES is an exercise meant to assess over enumeration or under enumeration.

He affirmed the determination of the commission to provide credible data required for national planning, through delivery of quality census.

He commended NPC personnel for their resilience in the pre-census exercises as trial census, and urged them to do more.

Kwarra assured Nigerians of the commission’s determination to deliver a credible census.
