In his motion, Mr Shehu said that thousands of Nigerians have been displaced by the general insecurity across the country.

Countries that currently host Nigerian refugees include Niger, Cameroon and Benin.

Mr Shehu also said that “posting enumerators or ad-hoc staff to volatile areas of the nation in the name of conducting a census is irrational, as it would be like giving them out to criminals.”He added that “conducting population and housing census in the current economic recession will only waste the hard-earned resources of this country as the outcome will be inconsequential.”

The 2023 election was also cited as a reason to postpone the election. Mr Shehu said the next general election is envisaged to commence and end within the first quarter of the year 2023. As such, the whole of the preceding year would mostly be about campaigns, which has no room for census activities, he said.
