Many believe Nigeria\u2019s population is overestimated, as low voter turnout and school enrollment figures suggest otherwise,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He expressed concerns over delays, noting that they created data gaps hindering national planning. Abbas pledged to engage with President Tinubu, whom he believes respects the National Assembly\u2019s role and would prioritize the census.<\/p>\n<p>He also emphasized the need for adequate funding for the NPC, acknowledging that its 2025 budget may not cover the costs. However, he remained optimistic that alternative funding sources could be secured with political will.<\/p>\n<p>NPC Chairman, Nasir Isa Kwarra, appealed to the National Assembly for financial support to conduct the census and other commission activities.<\/p>\n<p>He reaffirmed that the upcoming census would be biometric-based, aligning with global recommendations and Tinubu\u2019s Renewed Hope Agenda.<\/p>\n<p>Kwarra outlined the NPC\u2019s progress, including the completion of Enumeration Area Demarcation in 774 LGAs, the development of a National EA Frame, and the launch of a digital
