“Government through the National Statistical Office (NSO), will tomorrow, Thursday, 10th January, 2019, release preliminary results for the 2018 Population and Housing Census (PHC).
The Commissioner of Statistics Mercy Kanyuka, will preside over the function that will take place at the NSO Offices in Zomba from 14:00hrs,” reads in part the statement.
