In the just concluded week, the Federal Commissioner and Chairman of the Public Affairs Committee of the National Population Commission (NPC), Mr. Abdulmalik Durunguwa, reportedly said that the Commission awaits President Muhammadu Buhari’s approval to conduct an accurate and reliable national census by the first quarter of 2022.
He noted that plans are underway to commence work as the President had recently approved N10 billion intervention fund which enabled the Commission to carry out Enumeration Area Demarcation (EAD) of 629 Local Government Areas – EAD precedes the conduct of the national census and it is expected to be completed by July 2021.

The enumeration of the local government areas would help the Commission determine the number of enumerators to be deployed during the national census. Notably, the Commission promised to deploy technological innovations, which include customized software that would fast-track demarcation of areas, and high imagery resolution satellite technology.

In another development, the State Governors finally pledged to implement the financial autonomy granted to state Judiciaries and legislatures by the 1999 constitution, as amended, after the Judicial workers embarked on several weeks of indefinite strike action to press on their demand.

The state governors have unnecessarily dragged the financial independence of the other arms of government for so long, despite the signing of Executive Order 10 (that enforces the constitutional provisions for financial autonomy for the state, judiciaries) by the Federal Government, as the financial dependency of the Judiciaries and legislatures gave the state governors controlling power over the other tiers of government.

We feel that the conduct of the national census has been long overdue given the importance of accurate data to making strategic and economic plans in a country – the last national census in Nigeria was conducted in 2006.
The World Bank estimated Nigeria’s population to be 200,963,599 people in 2019, increasing from 195,874,740 people in 2018.
These figures which were based on mere estimates can only propel minimal development.
Hence, with the eventual conduct of the national census, the country may be on the right track to reviewing its national population policy as it affects the birth rate, access to health, affordable housing and other social-economic needs that would allow Nigerians to function effectively.

Very neccessary.

In your community, your tradition forbids you from marrying until you are as rich as Dangote. You will see people at 50, yet unmarried and when they finally marry, end up with 2 kids max.

In another community, wealth or not, marriage is viewed as an obligation, with or without wealth. Therefore, they get married as soon as possible and come forth with children, 4 minimum.

Yet, you will open your mouth as wide as possible and start spewing out foolishness that you have more population than that other community.

How these animals drop logic for foolishness still beats me till tommorow.

As an undergraduate at 100 level when ASUU was on strike, I used the opportunity to participate in the 2006 census in the North. These Northerners in remote villages were insisting to be paid before they were counted. An indication they don't even understand the benefits of numerical superiority over others.

Yet some animals will remain in their caves talking about how these Northerners counted animals as well in the population and housing census.

They are preparing to cook up 2023 election figures

This is what stupid GEJ should have done.

Now these Fulani jihadists are going to count cows again as Northerners.

GEJ was too weak.

Thunder fire him if he dares say he wants to recontest.

We already know the outcome and the purpose of that census
