The Chairman of the NPC, Nasir Kwarra, said this at a public interview on the beginning of the following Enumeration Area Demarcation in Abuja on Tuesday.
Kwarra said since Nigeria had not had the option to hold a census over the most recent 14 years, it is hard to know the specific population of the nation.
He stated, “without a genuine census, we officially do projections and we have from the start been doing our projections and we gauge that starting at 2020, the assessed population of Nigeria 206 million.”

Kwarra added that he was sure that Buhari would do the needful soon.
While declaring the initiation of the Enumeration Area Demarcation works out, Kwarra said around 260 nearby government regions out of the 774 in the nation had been completely differentiated.
He expressed that the eleventh period of the activity would start on December 9, 2020, and end on January 20, 2011.
The NPC chairman stated, “Anticipating the census is secured on the EAD as the reason for assessing both the human and material assets needed for the census. Basically, the achievement of a sound and precise census relies especially upon the quality and dependability of the EAD.”
Kwarra clarified that the EAD practice isn’t the identification of people living in the nation however a preliminary exercise before the census.
He said the NPC would help the Independent National Electoral Commission to make digitized guides of INEC enlistment regions unexpectedly as a feature of the EAD. He said this cooperation would emphatically influence future races.
