The Federal Government has once again postponed the 2023 Population and Housing Census.

A credible source who spoke with Daily Trust Saturday said the decision was made yesterday after a meeting between President Muhammadu Buhari and the Chairman of National Population Commission (NPC), Nasir Isa Kwarra.

The source, who does not want his name in print as he was not authorised to speak with the media, said the postponement was made due to the challenges the commission is facing to seamlessly carry out the exercise.

While he did not disclose the challenges to our reporter, the commission had previously suspended the training of adhoc staff who would carry out population count due to finance and logistic issues.

But when asked if a new date has been fixed, he said he can’t reveal it as the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, will make a broadcast on it today.

Recall that the Census was earlier scheduled for March 27 but was shifted to May 3 due to the earlier postponement of the gubernatorial elections.

Also, the chairman of the commission had on Thursday, during a meeting with the diplomatic corps in Abuja, stated that the commission was yet to get all the devices needed to carry out the census, noting that some devices will be procured in a few days’ time.

For the country, we require up to 800,000 PADs, so far, we have procured about 500,000. The remaining are coming in a few days’ time,” he said.

On the donations for the census by the private sector and other key stakeholders, he said “But you know the way they operate; it is not as if the money will come like that. They have to talk with their own government and look at their budget. So, that process is ongoing. But we cannot say any money has come in. It is a process, and the process is unfolding.”

According to the source, the NPC chairman was accompanied to the State House by Dr Ipalipo Harry, NPC’s Rivers State Federal Commissioner; Dr Abdulmalik Durunguwa, NPC’s Kaduna State Federal Commissioner; Tellson Osifo Ojogun, the Director General of NPC and Ms. Evelyn Olanipekun, NPC’s Director of Census.

U serious government.
Fixing elections and census in the same year with just two months gap.
All they know is to keep increasing our external debt profile.
No proper planning and coordination.
This outgoing administration should forget about census for now.
Let the incoming government come and plan on when to do it

Is it not glaring ni. It has to be may be 2 months after the Inauguration.

I have said it severally that conducting census same month of the election can't work

But he gave his best to Lagos state, a state but in the category of a country.

Who amongst the candidates have such legacy? Name them and what they achieved

Looking at arrays of aspirants who contested for the office of the president, in all ramifications, Tinubu is the least qualified

What did he even do in Lagos State?

The only thing he did is to construct a conduit pipe from the state government purse to his personal company Alpha Beta

All that is being bandied around as Tinubu legacies in lagos are the works of other governors who came after him

Na the problem wey I get with you people be that. I asked you to name any of the candidates who achieved what Tinubu achieve in Lagos state.

At least you pointed out to what he did. What did other candidates do in their own capacity?

The census should be suspended. We need a new regime to take up the planning, organising and the execution.

For them to have postponed the census thus far means they already have a preconceived figures but lack the process to statistically falsify them.

You should stop using privilege as a component of performance.

The rich kid who has assess to the father's wealth has a resounding privilege the poor and average kids don't have and this doesn't make the rich kid the brightest bulb because in assessing comparison the level of darkness at point of inception and what was dispersed is the key to understanding capacity and competence.

The stock market performance is not judged by the value of the stocks rather percentage increase to the value of the stock.

None, absolutely none

Reason why I said Tinubu is the least qualified

None of the other candidates is a notorious Narcotic drug trafficker the city of Chicago Conakry has ever known

None of the other candidates is enmeshed in identify theft and educational controversies

None constructed a conduit pipe from the state government purse to his personal company

None have his wife made a perpetual senator of the federal republic of Nigeria

None is engaged in criminal state capture in the manner Tinubu has done

When you are done with your quarter cleverness, then you should let us know.

So you people had the intention of forcing a fraud with no legacy to be proud of on Nigerians?

Indeed Nigerians dodged the nuclear weapon OBi in all Ramifications

Clueless APC government that never have any plans for Nigerians. Wicked government ever in Nigeria history.
