JUST IN: FG Shifts Population Census (SEE NEW DATE)

The Federal Executive Council (FEC) has approved 2.8 billion naira for the National Population Commission to purchase software for the National Census in May 2023.

Lai Mohammed, Minister of Information and Culture, announced that the 2023 population and housing census, which was originally scheduled for March 29, has been rescheduled for May 2023.

The decision, he explained, was necessitated by the rescheduling of the governorship elections from March 11 to March 18.

The FEC also approved the Nigeria Agenda 2050, a plan aimed at increasing real GDP growth by 7%, creating 165 million new jobs, and reducing poverty to 2.1 million people by 2050.

This comes nearly 29 months after President Buhari established the National Steering Committee to prepare the Medium-Term National Development Plan 2021-2025 and the Nigeria Agenda 2050.

The overall goal is to transition Nigeria to an Upper Middle-Income Country and then to the status of a High-Income Country by 2050.
