According to the chairman of the commission, Nasir Isa Kwarra, the Personal Digital Assistance, PDAs collected are critical to the nation’s first digital census that would be conducted this year.
Kwarra said the PDAs contain maps that would direct enumerators to various areas to ensure adequate data collection.
