Dr Ahaji Bello
Director National population commission.
Appreciate the media for identifying with the occasions, first next to senses the most important function of the commission is civil and vital registration, is collecting data of birth and death ,and to extending marriages and divorces. We have just review on how far have we cover as a nation. Regard this important function,far as the statistics, the cover age is not as it suppose to be ,we aught to cover about 100% ideally.
By the time we are able to cover the birth registration we can use it to validate and to known how many children has been given birth and the birth certificate ,funding is the challenges for now and we need to be able to reach the nulece and craning of the country.
For instance you want to mobilize to local government that have two centres and five hundred thousand population, the centres or office will not be enough to cover efficiency, we need enough personnel,and the personnel need to be motivated and provided with the necessary working, I have been discussing with my commissioner who is the chairman of the vital and statistics on how we can increase the coverage, but it has to be supported and adequately funded in order to actualize the desired result.
We need the government support to enable us to discharge our duties effectively.
