Despite these efforts, uncertainties persist as Kwarra revealed that no new date has received official approval.

As Nigeria navigates through these challenges, the successful conduct of the population census remains pivotal for informed decision-making and resource distribution. The collective efforts of governmental bodies, under President Tinubu's leadership, are essential in realizing this ambitious endeavor.
