Mr Silas Agara, Federal Commissioner of NPC in Nasarawa State, while speaking at a one-day capacity building workshop for journalists in the state, said all the areas in the state had been fully demarcated using modern technology.
He disclosed that the NPC was well prepared to conduct the forthcoming census exercise in the state.
