The Chairman of the
National Population Commission (NPC), Chief Eze Duruiheoma, says the 2018
national population census is to cost N222 billion.
He said the figure was
arrived at after a careful assessment of the imperatives and requirements for
the conduct of a truly scientific exercise.
Duruiheoma spoke at the
commission’s review workshop of phase 1 and 2 as well as equipping of trainers
currently taking place at Akwanga, Nasarawa State.
According to him, “the fund will not be required at once but to be spread over a period of four years.
“We therefore appeal to
state and local governments, traditional institution and communities to support
the commission in carrying out the 2018 Census EAD by allowing unfettered
access to facilities and places to demarcated’’.
