The Next Census Will Cost Over N220 Billion - Population Commission Reveals by Ayodele70: 4:48pm On Mar 21, 2019
The National Population Commission has said the next census will cost well over N220bn.

The Director-General of the NPC, Dr. Ghaji Ismail, said this in Abuja on Tuesday at the commencement of fieldwork for the continuation of the Enumeration Area Demarcation.

He said the 2015 budget for the proposed 2016 census which eventually did not take place was put at N220bn.

Ismail said with currency devaluation and inflation rates, the commission would require much more than N220bn to conduct a census.

The DG said,

“How much will it cost? At this point in time it is going to be very difficult because there have been changes. It is not something you can say off hand but if we deduce from our previous submission in 2015 hoping that it would take place in 2016, a lot has changed in terms of currency devaluation but if we are to use the 2015 submission, we are looking at a submission of over N220bn.”

Ismail said although the 2019 budget proposal had no provision for a census, a separate budget could be submitted for the exercise.

please the population count is useless. it doesn't have any positive impact in this country.

wow.... F T C! I registered today, before 24hours first to comment.

I dedicate this FTC to my girlfriends, side chicks, other boys girlfriends that I will f u c k, and lastly to those girls that will try to pin fake pregnancy on me without success.

I love you all

Make them leave the census alone, we can't afford to leave more pressing issues and spend that huge amount on census.
I equal know that census is important but in Nigeria the figures will surely be highly manipulated to favour some areas so what is the essence.

We are 200 million people. We don't need any useless census because they can never get accurate figures. Use the money to fix roads and power and other things

Yakubu of INEC budgeted millions or is it billions for election monitoring police dogs. Not sure anyone saw dogs during the elections.

Census monitoring bingos and other miscellaneous is activated to be headed by another Usman grin
