The NPC’s message to the general public is clear: disregard false information circulating online and be cautious of potential swindlers. To stay informed about the Commission’s activities, the NPC advises Nigerians to rely on official NPC social media handles and the website for accurate information.

The NPC is committed to keeping the public updated on developments related to the first digital Population and Housing Census in Nigeria and calls for everyone’s support to ensure the success of this significant Census exercise.

In conclusion, the NPC’s warning serves as a reminder to rely on official sources for information about government activities, especially when it concerns important national events like the Population and Housing Census. Staying vigilant and informed will help in preventing scams and maintaining the integrity of such critical initiatives.
