The conduct of the 2023 National Census scheduled to hold between March 29 and April 2, may not be feasible as the Nigerian government has raised concerns over the impact of funding, insecurity and cultural differences on the exercise.
These fears were raised by Minister of State for Budget and Planning, Clem Agba, who said the conduct of the 2023 National Housing and Population Census wash hanging on a balance.
Agba, who raised the concerns at a meeting with members of the private sector and development partners in Abuja on Monday, explained that though over 60 percent of funds needed for the census had been released, more funding intervention from development partners remains key.
