Industriel neighborhood chief Mayundo Kwezi Isidore urged residents to welcome and cooperate with census workers, saying the data will help the government assess needs, including for schools and health facilities. Mapping teams explained their work to households and also visited churches, shops and a health center in Ndanu, stressing that the operation is free.
