Nigeria’s House of Representatives has ignited controversy by launching a probe into the N200 billion reportedly spent by the National Population Commission (NPC) on the ultimately suspended 2023 Population and Housing Census.
The resolution followed the adoption of a motion by Clement Akanni during plenary in Abuja on Thursday.
Moving the motion, Akanni said the immediate-past administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari planned to conduct a census in 2022 but the programme was later postponed to 2023.
