Meanwhile, the Nigerian government has announced a change in the schedule for the population and housing census from March 29, 2023, to May 2023.

The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, revealed this information during a press briefing in Abuja on Wednesday. The announcement was made after the Federal Executive Council meeting chaired by President Muhammadu Buhari.

The census is a crucial exercise for the Nigerian government as it provides an accurate representation of the country’s population and housing statistics. This information is used to make informed decisions about resource allocation and development planning. The shift in the census schedule has been attributed to unforeseen circumstances, which were not specified by the Minister.

It is important to note that this change in schedule may have some implications on the country’s political landscape. Nigeria’s general elections are typically held in February or March, and with the census now slated for May, it may impact the election schedule. The census is a vital tool for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to plan and execute successful elections. Thus, the delay in the census may also delay the general elections.
