The National Population Commission (NPC), Bauchi State Office, has distanced itself from a recent publication by Zamani TV on Facebook titled _”Rahoton Kididdigar Yawan Jama’a da Tsarin Addini a Jihar Bauchi 2026″_. <\/p>\n
In a disclaimer issued Tuesday and signed by the Head of Public Affairs Department, Yahaya Makama, on behalf of the Hon. Federal Commissioner, the Commission described the statistics in the publication as \u201cunverified\u201d and said it had no direct or indirect connection to the report. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe Management of Zamani TV, the author, and the general public should take note that NPC Bauchi State has no direct or indirect connection with the unverified statistical data in that publication, which contained round figures for every LGA,\u201d the statement read. <\/p>\n
The Commission stressed that it has never included religion and ethnicity in any of its censuses or surveys throughout history. It added that the report \u201cdoes not represent the official position of the National Population Commission, Bauchi State Office\u201d and that the Commission would not be held responsible for any harm the publication may cause to individuals, groups, or peaceful coexistence in the state. <\/p>\n
Reaffirming its mandate, the NPC said it \u201cremains committed to providing demographic data for national planning without bias toward any person or group of persons in the country.\u201d <\/p>\n
The public was therefore advised to \u201crely on officially published census data and authorized demographic statistics for planning and decision-making.\u201d <\/p>\n
The disclaimer comes after Zamani TV\u2019s Facebook post claimed NPC and the National Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS) \u2014 conducted every five years by NPC and partners \u2014 as one of its sources.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
