NPC 2024 Census Update - 20th December 2023
Tuesday 19 December 2023
Comment
In a surprising development, the Senate Committee on Appropriations has disclosed that the budget proposal for the National Population Commission (NPC) does not include provisions for the scheduled 2024 population and housing census. Senator Abdul Ningi, Chairman of the Senate Committee on National Population Commission, brought this to light during the presentation of a report on the NPC 2024 budget on Tuesday.
Ningi expressed concern about the potential loss of over N200 billion, which the National Population Commission has already spent, if funds for the census are not incorporated into the budget. Emphasizing the importance of adequate funding, he stated, "If we don’t get the money, the nation will lose, the people will lose, the money spent on the preparation for the census will go down the drain, and it is a humongous amount of money, over N200 billion already spent, that is my take."
