Punch Newspaer said that President Muhammadu Buhari had given his approval to push out the 2023 Population and Housing Census from its original May 2023 date to a time that will be decided by the incoming administration. On Friday, April 28, 2023, in the Presidential Villa in Abuja, the President met with a few members of the Federal Executive Council as well as Nasir Isa-Kwarra, Chairman of the National Population Commission, and his staff. After the discussion, the President gave the go-ahead.
After then, Peter Obi published a fresh article in which he claimed that, despite the fact that the census in Nigeria is overdue, proper planning and diligence are still necessary. After that, Obi praised Buhari for agreeing to postpone the census.
He recently made the following statement: “The Federal Government of Nigeria’s decision to postpone the 2023 Population and Housing Census, slated for 3–7 May 2023, to a date to be selected by the new Administration is a favorable and welcome move. A crucial tool for nation-building and economic development is the national census. Even though Nigeria is long overdue for a census, conducting one requires proper planning and diligence to ensure the sanctity of the results”
