Firm, NPC Taskforce Move for Local Content Adoption

BETA Computers said it hosted a delegation from the National Population Commission at its factory.

According to the management of BETA Computers, the visit was to comply with the President’s Executive Order on local content adoption in Federal Government’s projects.

In his welcome address, the Chairman of the company’s board of Directors, Mr Isaac Orolugbabe, said, “While government monopoly is bad, private monopoly is worse as competition will lead to more benefits and reduced cost to consumers.”
The leader of the NPC team, Dr. Clifford Zirra, said, “The commission is on the verge of making history with the conducting of the very first digital census in Nigeria and possibly on the African continent by April 2023.”

The task force on the 2023 census included three federal commissioners, the director-general of NPC, four directors, and two other managers, and was led by Zirra.
