LIBERIA – Liberian Vice President Jewel Howard-Taylor has revealed that significant progress has been made in the ongoing Population and Housing Census.
The commencement of the exercise was marred with intense disenchantment by some aggrieved enumerators over compensation payment which temporarily stalled the exercise amid Government’s intervention.
But Vice President Jewel Howard-Taylor said the National Census is on course and that remarkable success has been achieved so far.
Speaking on ELBC Super Morning Show on Wednesday morning, recently, Vice President Taylor said of the estimated over one-point-four-million houses across the Country, ninety-three-percent has been identified.
She also said the targeted four-point-nine-million or approximately five-million population, four-million have been counted up to present.
The Vice President named Bomi, Grand Gedeh, and Grand Cape Mount Counties, among others, as areas making significant progress, though Montserrado County remains a major challenge to the entire census.
