The Trial Census, also known as the “census dress rehearsal”, is one of the pre-census activities to evaluate all aspects of the census operation before the main census on a limited scale. It is a process in which all census operations are tested in a detailed and comprehensive manner to assess the level of preparedness of the Commission to conduct the 2023 Population and Housing Census.

The Trial Census shall cover a total of 7681 Enumeration Areas in the 36 States and the FCT. Six LGAs have been selected from the six selected states in the six geo-political zones of the country for full population enumeration while forty-five FAs in nine LGAs cutting across three Senatorial districts were selected from each of the thirty States and the FCT for enumeration.
