Some travellers from Kadjebi in the Oti Region to Accra have been enumerated as part of the Census Night.
Ms Hellen Tsivanyo, an Enumerator, told the Ghana News Agency (GNA) that she and her team had no problem with the respondents as they were patient and willing to answer all questions.
She said the exercise was successful though they had a challenge with the Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI) software they were using in collecting the data.
She called on the respondents to help generate accurate data since such statistics were critical to the effective implementation of decentralisation programmes.
Ms Tsivanyo said censuses helped in planning policies and their importance in decision-making could not be under-estimated.
Miss Emelda Nana Ama Amankwa, another official, who enumerated five persons at the Wobube Guest House, said the exercise was a great achievement and appealed to the people to help achieve total coverage of the district.
She explained that data from population and housing censuses provided rich sources of information for carrying-out demographic, social and economic surveys, hence the need for everyone to get counted.
