Reps To Investigate Money Spent On Postponed 2023 Census.

Reps To Investigate Money Spent On Postponed 2023 Census.
The population and housing census earlier scheduled for May 3 to 7, 2023, was indefinitely postponed by former President Muhammadu Buhari in April.

The House of Representatives is to investigate the money expended on the postponed 2023 population and housing census by the National Population Commission (NPC).

The house made this resolution on Wednesday following a motion from Honourable Dominic Okafor drawing attention of the lawmakers to the 200 billion naira spent so far on the census.

The lawmakers, however, disagreed on conducting the census this year due to insecurity.

President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the postponement of the 2023 Population and Housing Census earlier scheduled for May 3 to 7 to a date to be determined by the incoming administration.

The population and housing census earlier scheduled for May 3 to 7, 2023, was indefinitely postponed by former President Muhammadu Buhari in April.

Buhari had given the approval for the postponement after a meeting with some members of the then Federal Executive Council; the Chairman of the National Population Commission (NPC), Nasir Isa-Kwarra; and his team.
