The House of Representatives has advised the Federal Government to postpone the 2021 population and housing census being planned by the National Population Commission.

This was disclosed in a series of tweets on the official handle of the House of Representatives.

Speaker of the House, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, gave the advice, saying the exercise should be suspended until the country is safe enough.

The House came about the resolution following a motion by a member representing Bosso/Paikoro Federal Constituency of Niger State, Shehu Beji.

The lawmaker while leading the debate on the motion told the House that several factors would work against the accuracy of the figures that would be obtained and the overall success of the exercise due largely to insecurity.

“Beji said the safety of enumerators would not be guaranteed in many parts of the country.

“He also stated that many households would be unwilling to make family members available for enumeration because of the fear of the unknown.

“He added that it would be unwise in the prevailing circumstances to post enumerators to some parts of the country currently considered to be volatile.

“Beji argued that the fact that many locations would not be reached by enumerators was enough a reason to suspend the planned exercise,” the tweets read in part.

The key prayer of his motion, therefore, urged the House to “call on the Federal Government to suspend the exercise until the security of the country stabilises.”

The prayer was endorsed by the House in a majority voice vote.

The House also invited the Chairman of the National Population Commission (NPC), Nasir Isa Kwarra, to explain the feasibility of conducting a population and housing census in the country amid the current security challenges.
