The Committee Chairman, who stated that postponing the headcount would allow for thorough planning and in-depth preparation, urged members of the committee, particularly the sub-committees, to spring into action to ensure that the exercise was a big success in the state.
He stated that the committee would give the public with all required information on the exercise.
The last population census was held in Nigeria in 2006, and it is intended to be repeated every 10 years in order to provide precise and up-to-date data on the people and buildings in a certain geographical place for development planning.
