Less than one month to census, Nigeria begs for funding support

Seventeen years after the last national census (2006), Nigeria is set to conduct a fresh green census.

The green census, an approach to conducting a census that causes little or no damage to the environment, is said to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and helps in combating climate change.

The enumeration exercise, which is scheduled to hold between 29 March and 2 April across 774 local government areas of the country, is expected to gulp a total of N869 billion.
