Nigeria’s 2026 Hybrid Census
The NPC Census platform is delivered as three standalone applications — citizen self-enumeration, field enumeration, and field supervision — all linked to the central NPC Census Admin Dashboard for administration, validation, and analytics.
Declare your household in minutes — anchored on your NIN, confirmed by a one-time code, sealed with a private QR receipt that carries no personal data. Mobile-first; works on any phone.

The offline-first field app — scan a Self-Census receipt or enumerate on the spot, verify each member’s identity and biometrics, capture building evidence with GPS, and sync when connectivity returns.
Sign-in required · field staff
The supervision workspace — track enumerators across your assigned areas, review pending validations and biometric exceptions, approve field registrations, and resolve escalations. Same secure app, supervisor sign-in.
Sign-in required · supervisors
One census, four surfaces
Households declare themselves on the NPC Self-Census Application — NIN-anchored, consented, private.
Field staff validate self-reports and enumerate the rest — identity, biometrics, and GPS-anchored evidence.
Supervisors review and approve; the NPC Census Admin Dashboard validates, maps discrepancies, and estimates coverage.
