FG to Conduct Census in 2025 – NPC
The Chairman of the National Population Commission, Nasir Kwarra, has announced plans to conduct Nigeria’s population and housing census in 2025, nearly two decades after the last census in 2006.
He made this known during the 2024 anniversary of the Nairobi Summit on the International Conference on Population and Development held in Abuja on Thursday.
The announcement came 18 years after Nigeria’s last census in 2006, despite the United Nations’ recommendation for countries to conduct population counts every 10 years.
Previous attempts to hold the census in 2023 were postponed under the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari.
The delay was attributed to the desire to let the incoming administration take ownership of the process.
