According to the GSS, the “unscrupulous persons have launched a fake portal captioned: GHANA STATISTICAL SERVICE RECRUITMENT PORTAL 2023: Approved Application Portal for The Ghana Statistical Service Job Recruitment of new staffs for the 2023 Census.
“These unscrupulous individuals are reportedly promoting the said fake recruitment portal on social media and are misleading/enticing unsuspecting members of the public to pay recruitment fees to them.”

“As a result, the next census is anticipated to be conducted in 2031 given that the most recent Population and Housing Census (PHC) was carried out in 2021.”
It also stated unequivocally that, it has not “authorised anyone or any agency to conduct any recruitment exercise” on its behalf.
