LAGOS State Government has said its Bureau of Statistics will on September 1, commence the conduct of the year 2014 Household Survey as part of its commitment to sustaining the economic development of the state.

Commissioner for Economic Planning and Budget, Mr. Ben Akabueze, who made this known yesterday, described the exercise as a welfare and service delivery survey aimed at gathering information on the basic nature of economic activities, impact of government programmes and projects on various communities, as well as perceived constraints to growth and productivity in the state.

According to Akabueze, the principal focus of the survey to be carried out in selected households in the 57 Local Governments/Council Development Areas in the State would centre on the welfare of the inhabitants of the state at individual and household levels.
“The enumerators who will be visiting households for five weeks will administer questionnaires pertaining to the survey,” he added.
