By NBS Estimates, Nigeria’s Population Now 193.3 Million. Kano State Leads by Buyeradvertcom: 7:27am On Dec 30, 2016 |
National Population Commission (NPC) and the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) have put the current figure of Nigeria’s population at 193,392,517. This is just as the Federal Government proposed a total budget of N9.799 billion for the NPC in 2017, which, according to the sources, is a little above the United Nations’ estimate of 186,988,000. It will be recalled that the national population census was last conducted in Nigeria in 2006 when the total figure was put at 140,431,790. According to the latest population forecasts released by NBS, in its website www.nigerianstat.gov.ng, Kano remains the largest state, by an estimated population figure of 13,076,892 than the population of Lagos which is put at 9,113,605. However, there exists a sharp contradiction in the actual population figure of Lagos, as both the United Nations and Lagos State government put the population of Nigeria’s commercial capital at about 22 million. The 2006 census figures put Kano population at 9,401,288 and that of Lagos at 12,550,598. Some highlights of the latest estimates indicated that there are 98,630,184 males with 94,762,333 females. Also, the population figure of infants within the age bracket of zero to four years, according to NBC and NBS, constituted the largest percentage of the population with 31,116,156, followed by the figure of those between five to nine years with a population of 27,549,964. An analysis of the figures showed that Nigeria currently had an estimated population figure of 78,971,690 of those between the ages of 15 to 39. According to the analysis, there were 106,257,431 people within the working population of 15 to 64 years. It also showed that despite Boko Haram insurgency, which has ravaged substantial parts of the North-East since 2010, the population figure increased substantially. From a population of 21,614,789 in 2010, the six states of the North-East is currently put at 26,263,866. Six south-west states of Lagos, Ondo, Ogun, Oyo, Osun and Ekiti states, according to the analysis, grew from 31,533,821 in 2010 to 38,257,260. The analysis also showed that Kaduna retains its position as third most populated state with 8,252,366 inhabitants followed by Oyo with current population estimate of 7,840,864, which outpaced Katsina now with a figure of 7,831,319. In 2006, Katsina’s population followed that of Kaduna State while Oyo was in the fifth place. Bayelsa maintains its position as the least populated of the 36 states of the federation with an estimated figure of 2,277,961. Anambra is the most populated state in the south-east with 5,527,809 inhabitants while Rivers State leads in the south-south region with 5,198,716 people. For the north-east, Bauchi is the largest state in terms of population with a figure of 4,653,066 while in the case of the north central, Benue leads with 5,741,815 inhabitants. According to the details of 2017 budget proposal submitted to National Assembly, by President Muhammadu Buhari, NPC will fully commence preparation for 2018 population census during 2017. A stakeholders’ conference to present the 2018 census instrument to gulp N50 million, would hold during the year while N41.7 million has been earmarked for training of staff in Washington, for data collection and interviewing techniques. There is also a proposal for N1.950 billion to be spent on field demarcation and another N1 billion is expected to be deployed to acquiring satellite imagery. http://tribuneonlineng.com/nbs-estimates-nigerias-population-now-193-3-million/ 4 Likes 4 Shares

Nigeria is the ONLY West African country with the anomalous population distribution where the northern arid zones of West Africa supports more population than the southern rainforest belt near the Atlantic ocean. In every other west African country, the southern areas have more population than the northern area EXCEPT Nigeria. If you dig into this anomaly, you will discover Nigeria is the one that distributes resources based on population. Little wonder why merely counting themselves is such a hugely important event to rig in favor of the north. 127 Likes 5 Shares |

Hmm someone will sit in their bedroom and put figures together... They should simply conduct census not all ds imaginary figures they put together in their head. With all the killings from BH, police, armed robbers and the army Nigeria still has over 190million citizens? ![]() ![]() NPC should use part of that 9.799billion to conduct census abeg and stop all this guess work. 20 Likes 1 Share |

Do not, I repeat, do not take these figures seriously. You mean the population of Lagos dropped from 12m in 2006 to 9m in 2016? Really?! This is madness. Lagos population is definitely above 22m and continues to increase. 52 Likes 1 Share |

Crap. Everyone knows that even that 2006 census was a fraud. Nigeria has always politicized population censuses for obvious reasons. But Thank God there are other data sources that give a ballpark extrapolated estimate of current states populations, like the one below gotten from the Telcos, courtesy of the same NBS, where you can easily deduce the most populated states in the country. The good thing about these sort of numbers is that they're devoid of ethnic/tribal, political or sentimental colorations that have always plagued national censuses. These are reliable enough data that points to the actual estimated population of each state as at today, whichever way one chooses to slice or dice it (you can choose to add 1 or 2 million to any of those numbers, doesn't make much difference in the end): http://www.nigerianstat.gov.ng/report/486 64 Likes 12 Shares

No time As long as they are using population to share allocation, Kano will always lead.
