ONE thousand, five hundred field workers are to make the final list of field workers for the up coming national housing and population census in the Upper West Region.
The Regional Statistician, Mr Francis Nyarko Larbi, made this known to the Daily Graphic at Wa.
He said, currently, a number of applicants for the position as field workers were being taken through training on how to collect data among other issues during the exercise.
Mr Nyarko Larbi appealed to residents to be forthcoming with information when the enumerators call on them.
“The national housing and population census is highly confidential for which the enumerators are aware and so people must not hesitate to provide all the answers to their questions,” he stressed.
Mr Nyarko Larbi advised the enumerators to comport themselves and carry out their duties professionally.
Touching on information dissemination on the national exercise, the regional statistician said his outfit had liaised with various stakeholders, including the Information Services Department, the National Commission for Civic Education and the media to spread the message on the exercise throughout the region.
He appealed to Ghanaians to disabuse their minds that the exercise would be used for taxation purposes, stressing that the exercise would serve as a guide to policy makers to come out with very feasible development programmes.
Mr Nyarko Larbi further advised the populace to embrace the exercise by availing themselves on September 26, 2010 which had been earmarked as the census night to make the entire exercise very successful.
He also urged those who would be given the opportunity to work as enumerators to take the programme seriously.
