Twelve African Countries Plan National Censuses-of Population in 1974. Out of the 41 African countries, which are members of the UNECA, 21 have had censuses of their population since 1966. Nigeria will take a census of its population in November of this year, and 12 countries plan to enumerate their population in 1974. Of the remaining seven countries, two have censuses scheduled for 1975, three will announce the dates of their censuses later, and two are undecided.
