 An 8-man committee on the National Population Census was inaugurated yesterday, and strikingly, 5 out of the 8 members are from the South West—President Tinubu’s own region.



Here’s the breakdown of the committee members:


Alhaji Atiku Bagudu – Chairman (North West)


Alhaji Idris Malagi – Member (North Central)


Mr. Oyinade – Member (South West)


Mr. Wale Edun – Member (South West)


Mr. Zacch Adedeji – Member (South West)


Engr. Abisoye Coker-Odusote – Member (South West)


Mr. Hakeem Muri-Okunola – Member (South West)


Alhaji Kwarra – Secretary (North Central)


Geo-political representation:


South West – 5 members


North Central – 2 members 


North West – 1 member


South East – 0


South South – 0


North East – 0


This committee has just three weeks to submit its report to the President on a matter as critical as the headcount of Nigerians and households an exercise that historically shapes national planning, resource allocation, and political representation.
