Abstract

Census exercise is based on the notion that clear-cut data is at the center of a roadmap that enables planning, implementation, and long-term development. Because these objectives were not met, most census research in Nigeria has focused on the difficulties, problems, and politics underlying the falsification of census results. Surprisingly, none has articulated why a census is required for security and development. As a departure from the contentious debate enveloping the population, the paper examines the indices census has on the security and development of Nigeria. The cross-sectional survey design was adopted for the study using the proportionate stratified sampling in selecting 270 respondents that cut across three towns: Ado, Ikere, and Ikole, representing each senatorial district of Ekiti State. The questionnaire served as the instrument for data collection. Findings revealed mixed perceptions about the use of census for tackling security challenges, infrastructural planning, and developmental stride.

全国人口普查对尼日利亚安全与发展的重要性和用途
人口普查工作基于这样一种理念,即明确的数据是实现规划、实施和长期发展的路线图的中心。由于这些目标没有实现,尼日利亚的大多数人口普查研究都集中在伪造人口普查结果背后的困难、问题和政治上。令人惊讶的是,没有人阐明为什么为了安全和发展需要人口普查。与围绕人口的争议性辩论不同,本文研究了人口普查对尼日利亚安全和发展的指数。本研究采用了横断面调查设计,采用比例分层抽样,选择了270名受访者,他们分布在三个城镇:阿多、Ikere和Ikole,代表埃基提州的每个参议院区。调查表是收集数据的工具。调查结果显示,人们对利用人口普查应对安全挑战、基础设施规划和发展步伐的看法不一。
