Former federal lawmaker, Shehu Sani has described as madness the request by the National Population Commission, NPC, for nearly a trillion naira to conduct census in the country.
NPC had requested the sum of N942 billion for the conduct of the national housing and population census in the country this year.
But reports suggested that President Bola Tinubu rejected the request, opting for the deployment of members of the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, for the exercise.
Reacting, Shehu Sani in a post on X on Saturday commended Tinubu for the outright rejection of the proposal.
“National Population Commission request for almost a trillion naira just to count the number of Nigerians is total madness.
“The rejection of their budget is commendable,” Shehu Sani wrote on his verified page.
