Regular Population Census and Sustainable National Development in Nigeria; A Cost And Benefit Analysis

Abstract

This paper examined the issues around census population and its impact on sustainable national development by comparing the budgetary cost of conducting regular population census with the developmental cost of not conducting regular population census. Data for the study were generated through a well-structured questionnaire from purposively selected respondents in the ministry of Finance, ministry of Budget & National Planning and National Population Commission. 300 respondents were enumerated and the data generated was coded and analyzed with STATA with the help of the descriptive statistics which was used to address the objectives of the study with mean cut-off of 2.5 for acceptance or rejection. The result showed (mean = 3.22) which implies that the developmental cost of not conducting regular population census outweighs the budgetary cost of conducting population census regularly. As a result, we recommended that national development planning must be based on up-to-date data generated from regular decennial population census and followed up with the estimations of the National Bureau of Statistics within the intervals.

“…One of the efforts taken by capital owners in order to carry out efficiency is outsourcing, also known as sub-contracting, which is to buy up part or parts of the company's activities, which were previously managed by the company itself, to another company, which is then called the works recipient company (Kulembayeva et al, 2021;Eke et al, 2018;Raeissi et al, 2018;González-Gómez et al, 2013;Vintar &Stanimirovic, 2011, andFauzi, 2006) The definition of outsourcing is regulated in Article 1601 of the Civil Code which regulates contract work agreements. In practice, the basic understanding of outsourcing is the transfer of parts or all of the works and or authority to other parties to support the strategy of outsourcing service users, whether personal, company, division, or even a unit within the company (Komang, 2008).…”
