The National Population Commission says Nigeria’s
population is now estimated at 206 million.

This comes exactly two years after the NPC
estimated the country’s population at 198 million.
The Chairman of the NPC, Nasir Kwarra, said this
at a press conference on the commencement of
the next Enumeration Area Demarcation in Abuja
on Tuesday, Punch reports.

Kwarra said since Nigeria had not been able to
hold a census in the last 14 years, it would be
challenging to know the exact population of the
country.

He said, “In the absence of an actual census, we
formally make projections, and we have all along
been making our projections, and we estimate that
as of 2020, the estimated population of Nigeria is
206 million.”

The NPC boss said President Muhammadu Buhari
had the sole right to announce the next census.
Kwarra, however, said he was confident that
Buhari would do the needful soon.

While announcing the commencement of the
Enumeration Area Demarcation exercise, Kwarra
said about 260 local government areas out of the
774 in the country had been fully demarcated.

He stated that the 11th phase of the exercise
would begin on December 9, 2020, and end on
January 20, 2021.

The NPC chairman said, “Planning for the census
is anchored on the EAD as the basis for
estimating both the human and material resources
required for the census. In essence, the success
of a credible and accurate census depends very
much on the quality and reliability of the EAD.”

Kwarra explained that the EAD exercise is not the
enumeration of persons living in the country but a
preparatory exercise before the census.

He said the NPC would be assisting the
Independent National Electoral Commission to
create digitized maps of INEC registration areas
for the first time as part of the EAD. He said
this collaboration would positively affect future
elections.

The NPC chairman further stated, “It is essential
to say that the latest technology is being
deployed for this EAD exercise, including the use
of very high-resolution satellite imageries as the
base map, the use of GPS for georeferencing and
the use of GIS for data management.

“Also, personal data assistants (handheld devices/
tablets) that include computer software for
population estimation are being used for data
capture.”
