Oyogist has learned that the National Population Commission (NPC) Disclosed that it may conduct another national census in 2022.
The NPC Federal Commissioner in Gombe State, Abubakar Danburam, made this disclosure during a press conference.
According to him;
“It is within the purview of the President; we can’t precisely say this is the date. However, we are embarking on pre-census activities.
“These are the efforts we are making in view of the fact that census is absolutely necessary. We are on the verge of completing pre census, maybe in the next one year. We will suggest a date to Mr President and we are targeting maybe 2022.”
The last census conducted in Nigeria was in 2006.
