Today, the world pauses to honour one of the most noble professions; teaching, and to celebrate the men and women whose selfless devotion continues to shape the destiny of nations.

As a proud son and product of teachers, I hold a profound appreciation for the immeasurable sacrifices, patience, and passion that define the teaching profession.

On behalf of the Government and good people of Ijebu North Local Government, I salute all teachers within our communities, across Ogun State, Nigeria, and the world at large. Your dedication remains the cornerstone of progress and the bedrock of human civilisation.

May this day renew your strength and rekindle the joy of service in you. May your reward be abundant, your impact unending, and your legacies immortalised in the success stories of those you have selflessly guided.

Thank you for your invaluable contributions to humanity.

Dr. Bolaji Odusanya has reiterated the support of his administration towards the forthcoming national population census to be conducted by the National Population Commission while playing host to the federal commissioner, Hon. Dr. Fasuwa Abayomi Johnson and his entourage at the local government secretariat in Ijebu Igbo.

In his welcome remark, the Chairman appreciated the commission for deeming it fit to visit the local Government and acknowledged the efforts of the commission for working towards the successfull conduct of the forthcoming population census.

While intimating the gathering on the purpose of the visit, the State Director of NPC, Dr. Adenuga Olayinka laid emphasis on the registration of births and deaths within the local government with the commission.

He explained that the birth certificate serves as a form of identification for the bearer, recognizing each individual as an entity and citizen of a country. Also serves as a means of eligibility and qualification. The birth certificate is for individuals btw age of 0 and 17 when registering while an attestation is issued to age 18 and above.

He further noted that the birth certificate is internationally recognized and is used in estimating the strength of the population. Also death certificates should be obtained for individuals who die at other places apart from the hospital. It assists the next of kin to claim assets/properties/ entitlements of the deceased. He stated that all hands should be on deck to aggressively sentisize the public on the advantages of documentation of births prior to the census proper as one of the indices to development of a community.

The Federal commissioner, while speaking more on the benefits of registration of births, laid emphasis on the need to register with and through the right quarters to ensure authenticity and proper documentation of the birth. He noted that there are some unscrupulous elements out there, parading who display themselves around as officials or agents of the commission.

The agency conducts population census which in it's capacity dictates the quota of governmental projects and development allotted from the federal government reserve which it assists in the development of facilities and determines benefits the federal government shares across the country as the growth rate is used to project the needs and aspiration of the people. He stressed that the attitude of the southerners towards certain pressing issues has affected the region negatively and everyone must work hand in hand to correct these abnormalities.

He stated that the populace is a resource for the development community and enhances the influx of people and investors which will enable more development to the community and it's people. He however noted that a committee will be constituted at the local government level to oversee the process and will also serve as a ready made platform for the forthcoming population census.

Hon. Bolaji applaused the NPC in ensuring that a proper and smooth process for the population census is on board and promised the support of the local government in all capacity.
