The National Population Commission, NPC, has revealed that the postponement of the 2023 gubernatorial and state house of assembly elections will affect the conduct of the 2023 Housing and Population Census.
Recall that the NPC had revealed that the census which would hold again after almost 17 years, had been scheduled for March 29 to April 2 in all 774 local government areas of Africa’s largest population.
Nigeria’s population has also been estimated to be about 216 million according to the UN population agency, UNFPA.
But a staff member of the commission, who did not want his name in print as the decision was still being deliberated upon had reckoned that the exercise would now hold between May 3 to 7.
