Ho, Sept. 3, GNA – Some 5,763 field workers have been recruited in the Volta Region for the 2010 Census scheduled for September.
The field workers include 4,696 enumerators, 970 supervisors and 97 senior supervisors.
Madam Augusta Okantey, Regional Statistician, told the GNA in an interview on Friday that the field workers would be deployed to 3,600 enumeration areas across the region.
She said the recruitment of the field workers was very successful apart from few initial hiccups up north where some people were cut off by rivers.
Madam Okantey advised all prospective field workers to check the outcome of the interviews at their respective centres and prepare for training workshops in readiness for the exercise.
She appealed to traditional rulers, opinion leaders and religious bodies to use their platforms to educate the public on the census.
