Former Kaduna state Governor,Col Abubakar Umar Dangiwa,has as the federal government to suspend the planned 2023 national census.
He expressed dismay that for the government to seek and gotten the approval of the National Council of State to conduct National census in April 2023 must have come as a great shock to most well meaning Nigerians.
Nigeria can only be united if there is equity, …- Umar
Said he,”A country that is facing existential challenges such as unprecedented level of insecurity, collapsing economy cannot have as one of its priorities the conduct of a National census.
Census: Buhari earmarks N10b for enumeration area/demarcation
We, therefore, urge the Buhari administration to suspend what will amount to misadventure and waste of scarce national resources.
This Administration should focus all its attention on securing the nation and conducting the 2023 elections.
A National census at this point is certainly not a priority assuming that its conduct is possible.
