Breaking: FG Shifts Population Census to May
This was announced to reporters on Wednesday at the conclusion of the Federal Executive Council’s weekly meeting, which was presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari. Lai Mohammed is the minister of information and culture.
The decision to change the date, according to the Minister, was made necessary by the March 18 rescheduling of the governor’s election.
He also revealed that the Council had allocated N2.8 billion to buy software for the National Population Commission (NPC) to utilize in conducting the census.
