Nigeria now has an estimated population of 206 million people, as announced by the National Population Commission (NPC), on Tuesday.
Nasir Kwarra, the Chairman of the NPC, who disclosed this in Abuja, at a press briefing on the commencement of the 11th phase of Enumeration Area Demarcation (EAD), also announced that the next population and housing census would hold by middle of 2022. Nasir, who said the new figure was based on projection, noted however that, it would be challenging to know the exact population of the country since Nigeria had not been able to hold a census in the last 14 years.
