Former Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, on Tuesday asked Nigerians to prepare for the 2016 National Census, noting that their preparation would prevent manipulation of figures.

He gave the advice at a book presentation in Lagos, citing that the last population head-count was fraught with gross manipulation, which defeated the purpose of providing authorities with useful data.

However, the frosty relationship between the two former governors of Lagos State, Bola Tinubu and Mr. Babatunde Fashola was glaring yesterday, as the launch of the three books on Fashola was boycotted by Fashola’s former boss and APC chieftains from the South-west Bola Tinubu.

As Chief of Staff to former Governor Bola Tinubu in 2006, Fashola recalled that the census exercise was deliberately rigged and was the reason the government could not adequately plan for its population or project growth.

He said the population size “has changed from 160million to 170million and sometimes we now hear of 180million. But given the type of people that we are, and with the people who did our last national census now owning up that figures were falsified, the onus is on us to get it right in 2016.
