Nigeria’s Population Is Officially 206 Million People


 The Chairman of the National Population Commission (NPC), Nasir Kwarra, on Tuesday disclosed that the country’s population figure is now officially 206 million.

Kwarra, said this while briefing reporters in Abuja on the commencement of the next Enumeration Area Demarcation.

Kwarra said since Nigeria had not been able to hold a census in the last 14 years, it would be

difficult to know the exact population of the country.

His words: “In the absence of actual census, we formally do projections and we have all along been doing our projections and we estimate that as of 2020, the estimated population of Nigeria 206 million”.

Asked when the next population census will take place, He said President Muhammadu Buhari had the sole right to announce the next census.

Kwarra, however, said he was certain that Buhari would do the needful soon, adding that the commission is working on getting Buhari to make the proclamation.

Estimated census figures declaration as usual with electricity metre reading. Better not conduct any census because the past ones were rubbished by the greedy northerners in their characteristic cheating mentality. Better save the funds for the same northern politicians to embezzle.

Even 206 six million could have fed the people during the lock down if one person is entitled to a million but upon all the billions released only two cups of rice was distributed, naija what a shame.
