Foreign nationals, mainly from ECOWAS member states, caught up at the Ghana/Togo border raised initial objection to being captured during the census night enumeration of floating populations.
It took some persuasion by Statistical Service Officers and enumerators to convince them at the various points to agree to be captured.
Mr Stephen Gbesemete, Ketu-South Statistical Service Officer, told the Ghana News Agency that Ghanaian nationals waiting to travel to parts of the country also had to be convinced to be counted, preferring rather to be enumerated at their places of residence.
He said apart from these initial hiccups, "all is in place" for the 2010 Population and Housing Census (PHC) and that materials were available to cover the whole area.
Mr Christian Nutsugah, a Supervisor, noted that a little more education would have averted the ignorance of the people about the PHC.
He said some who showed apathy said the PHC would have no meaning for their lives and that it was like political elections which brought them nothing over the years.
