The Commission has implemented a strategic plan that includes the successful digital demarcation of the entire country, two pretests, and a post Enumeration Survey (PES). The Commission has also trained field functionaries at various levels to ensure a hitch-free 2023 Census.

However, the actual conduct of the census was put on hold as the nation was transitioning into a new administration. Nigerians are hopeful that the newly sworn-in President, Bola Tinubu, will prioritize the census and use its outcome to plan for the country from the onset of his administration.

The Executive Chairman of the National Population Commission Hon. Nasir Isa Kwarra shares this view and has expressed readiness to conduct the census if the incoming administration chooses to proceed with it. He assures Nigerians that the Commission has done all that is required to conduct a credible, transparent, and reliable census.

The successful conduct of the 2023 census is crucial for Nigeria’s development and planning. It will provide accurate data on the country’s population, which will help in the allocation of resources and the planning of social services. The census will also aid in the formulation of policies that will promote economic growth and development.

In conclusion, Nigeria is ready for the 2023 census, and the National Population Commission has made significant progress towards this goal. It is now up to the incoming administration to prioritize and proceed with the census, which will be a significant milestone in the country’s development.
