ask President Bola Tinubu to fix a date for the conduct of the national census.Moved by Dominic Okafor and Patrick Umoh from Anambra and Akwa Ibom, respectively, the motion sought to urge Tinubu to declare a date for the conduct of the census to facilitate accurate economic planning.
“Data collected in the 2006 population census is far from reality in 2023 and cannot validly form a solid base for the formation of national economic policies that will aid the federal government in administering viable national planning,” he said. “If the population and housing census fails to take place within 12 months, the information gathered across the country would become stale, a waste of resources and the country would have to increase costs of gathering fresh information.”In his contribution, Ahmed Jaha from Borno, opposed the motion, noting that census is not feasible because of the insecurity ravaging many parts of the country.
“In Nigeria, we are not ready to conduct censuses now because most places are not accessible,” he saidAdvertisementHe said for there to be proper planning at the state and federal levels, a census should be conducted.The lawmaker said Jaha did not take time to look at the prayer of the motion appropriately.
