The source added that the commission is still awaiting a date from President Bola Tinubu. "Most of the preparatory activities we must do have been done," the source said. "We have started the training and once we have a nod, we shall continue with our training process.
"However, President Bola Tinubu has the best information about when things can be done. We made a presentation to him. He promised to study the presentation and revert to the commission afterward."
The source also said that the commission needs adequate budgetary provisions to complete the census process. "Even the training process requires more than two months to complete," the source said. "We expect that there will be adequate budgetary provisions to conclude the process. But as soon as the president gives the nod, we will know how many months that we require to complete the process."
