Nigeria's census is postponed again

node

A census scheduled for 2023 was halted shortly before it was due, continuing a sequence of postponements attributed to funding, logistics, security and political timing. As of 2026 no new date had been announced, leaving Africa's most populous country without a current official count.

A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.
