Insecurity: Reps ask FG to suspend upcoming census exercise
On
By Levinus Nwabughiogu-Abuja
Following the ravaging insecurity in the country, the House of Representatives yesterday called on the federal government to suspend the upcoming census exercise until security improved.
The House also said it will be counter-productive and a waste of scarce financial resources to conduct such exercise amidst the economic recession.
The call was made on the heel of a motion under matters of urgent public importance titled “Call on the federal government of Nigeria to Suspend the Proposed 2021 Population and Housing Census to be conducted by the National Population Commission” sponsored by Shelia Barwa Bell.

Questions about nationality, mother tongue and immigration will be included on this years census.
Liina Osila, the Population and Housing Census project manager at Statistics Estonia, said that information about ethnic nationality and mother tongue is available in the Population Register, but the census questionnaire allows people to choose two answers for either characteristic. Researchers and state agencies have expressed a strong interest to use the census to determine how many people in Estonia feel that they belong to two ethnic nationalities and have two first languages. Thinking ahead, it would be useful to collect this information in the Population Register to ensure its continued availability, added Osila.
