Preface
The political and socio-economic imperatives of moving
any country forward and planning for national prosperity
require comprehensive data on the country’s human
resource potentials. The total population of Nigeria was enumerated during 2006 Population and Housing Census of March 21-27, 2006. The Provisional result of the 2006 Population and Housing Census was released in December of the same year and published in Federal Government Official Gazette Number 4, Volume 94 of January 19, 2007. The Final result was published in Gazette Number 2, Volume 96 of 2nd February, 2009. The results present the total number of persons in each of the states and Abuja by gender. The gazettes have since been disseminated to all stakeholders and the general public.
This publication provides a breakdown of the state’s total population by their component Local Government Areas (LGAs). Data on land size (as provided by the Office of the Surveyor General of the Federation) and the grouping of LGAs by Senatorial Districts (as provided by INEC) is also presented. Additional information is also provided to assist users in appreciating and understanding the data presented in a wider context.
More data will be generated and released to the public by the Commission. You are invited to visit our website and to forward request to the Commission for any specific table not seen.
The questions on how many we are in Nigeria should now
be satisfactorily put to rest with the successful conduct of
1991 and 2006 population censuses. The nation now has
comparable population census results to facilitate the provision of requisite data for national and sectoral planning, presently and in the future.
The National Population Commission remains grateful to persons and organizations that made the 2006 Population and Housing Census a huge success.
