The disclosure came nearly two decades after the last census was conducted in 2006, despite international recommendations for decennial population counts.
Kwarra disclosed this during the 2024 anniversary of the Nairobi Summit on the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD), held in Abuja on Thursday.
“A major setback that we face is the delay in conducting a Population and Housing Census. A reliable and accurate census is fundamental for good decision-making,” he said. “But the government, at the highest level, is committed to conducting a census, and we believe it will take place next year.”
