The House of Representatives on Thursday mandated its Committee on Population to investigate the use and management of 200 billion naira that was spent for the suspended 2023 population and housing census.
This followed the adoption of a motion moved by Clement Akanni during plenary in Abuja.
Moving the motion, Akanni stated that the need to provide the nation with accurate and reliable demographic data for policy formulation and planning for sustainable development could not be overemphasised.
He explained that the last census, which was conducted in 2006 by the National Population Commission, gave a population figure of 140 million.
