Pro-Democracy Group Disagrees With Benue Governor, Ortom Over Postponement Of Nigeria’s National CensusSNM Convener, Solomon Semaka who addressed a press conference in Abuja stated that as the country struggled through an election season, the political leaders who lost were desperately trying to sow seeds of discord by frustrating the census exercise.
He added that those mischievously calling for further postponement of the forthcoming 2023 National Population and Housing Census had a negative agenda. "Benue State with four universities and more than five other institution of higher learning stands to benefit more from this Census exercise more than any state. The pool of graduates churned out of these institutions and the need to establish industries to cater for the employment needs of the state through the abundant agro-allied and natural raw materials are just some few benefits of a Census to Benue indigenes and Nigerians at large.
