2022 Census of Nigeria

The 2022 Census of Nigeria will be a detailed enumeration of the Nigerian population that will be the fifth national census in the country since independence.[1][2][3] It will be the first national census held since the 2006 census. Over 190 Billion Naira (₦) have been allocated for the exercise.[2] A pilot census will be held in May 2022 to get ready for the final census later on in the year, and the help of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has been requested by the Chairman of the National Population Commission in order to provide security.[3] The census will also be notable for being the first digital census in Nigeria's history.[3]
