The Federal Commissioner, National Population Commission, NPC, for Kwara State, Abdulrazaq Folorunsho Gidado, is assuring Nigerians that the 2023 population and housing census project will definitely hold this year.
Gidado hinted that necessary moves have been taken by the board of the NPC to reach out to President Ahmed Bola Tinubu to have his ears on the project.
He disclosed that the Chief of Staff to the President, Mr Femi Gbajabiamila, and the Secretary to the Federation, Mr George Akume among other personal aides of the president, have been consulted to get an audience with the government for a new date from the president.
Speaking at a briefing on the 2023 census in Ilorin, the commissioner said the huge funds sunk into the census project will not be allowed to go down the drain.
