President Bola Tinubu has approved that plans for the 2023 national census be sustained.<\/p>\n
Tinubu is however expected to fix a new date for the national population and housing census.<\/p>\n
Recall that the initial date set for its conduct was postponed indefinitely in April this year.\u00a0\u2063<\/p>\n
The Chairman of the National Population Commission, NPC, Nasir Kwarra, made this disclosure to State House Correspondents after his delegation gave the President a full brief at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa, Abuja.<\/p>\n
He noted that the visit to the President afforded the Commission opportunity to submit its report to the President.<\/p>\n
According to Kwarra, the President is expected to study and come to an informed decision of when the exercise would be held nationwide.<\/p>\n
He hinted that the Commission may be forced to ask for more funding, pointing out that the longer the exercise is delayed, the more likely it generates financial constraints.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe briefed him fully on the level of our preparedness, the outcomes that we envisage and I\u2019ll like to say that Mr President has graciously approved to support the Commission in the conduct of census and our preparatory activities, though we\u2019re not stuck at all, but he has given us the courage and the impetus to upscale our preparation.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo we\u2019ll continue our preparations and we\u2019ll hear from him eventually, the date that the census will take place because we\u2019ve made a submission to him that he will study before getting back to us.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut as for the assurance of support, he has given that to us and we thank him immensely for this, for also realising the importance of data for the purpose of national planning and development\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile. President Bola Tinubu has denied releasing his much-awaited ministerial list<\/p>\n
He disclosed this through his media aide, Dele Alake on Thursday in Abuja.<\/p>\n
Speaking with journalists, Alake said: \u201cThere is no iota of truth in all of those things.<\/p>\n
When the President is good and ready, you will be the first to know about his intentions.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tinubu, who was sworn in on May 29, has to submit his ministerial list to the Senate before July 29, as mandated by law.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
