Kastina ala local government area in benue state Nigeria in 2006, 225471 population,2.3% annual population change. Using The arithmetic project 2007_2034. Where p1=225471,GR=2.3%, use this formula GR/100×p1+p1

To project the population for Katsina-Ala Local Government Area in Benue State, Nigeria, from 2007 to 2034 using the arithmetic growth method, we'll follow the given formula:

\[
\text{Projected Population} = \left(\frac{\text{GR}}{100} \times P_1\right) + P_1
\]

Where:
- \( P_1 \) = Initial Population (225,471)
- GR = Growth Rate (2.3%)

### Step-by-Step Calculation

1. **Calculate the annual increase in population:**

\[
\text{Increase} = \frac{2.3}{100} \times 225,471 = 5,185.833
\]

2. **Add this increase to the population each year to get the next year's population.**

The population for each year is calculated by repeatedly adding the annual increase to the previous year's population.

### Calculating for Each Year from 2007 to 2034

We can create a sequence of projections for each year. Let's calculate the population for a few initial years:

- **2007:**
  \[
  P_2 = 225,471 + 5,185.833 = 230,656.833 \approx 230,657
  \]

- **2008:**
  \[
  P_3 = 230,657 + 5,185.833 = 235,842.833 \approx 235,843
  \]

- **2009:**
  \[
  P_4 = 235,843 + 5,185.833 = 241,028.833 \approx 241,029
  \]

- **...**

You can continue this process up to 2034. Alternatively, you can summarize the formula for any year \( t \):

\[
P_t = P_1 + (t-1) \times \text{Increase}
\]

Where \( t \) is the number of years after 2006. 

### Example Calculation for 2034:
For the year 2034, \( t = 2034 - 2006 + 1 = 29 \).

\[
P_{2034} = 225,471 + (29 \times 5,185.833) = 225,471 + 150,389.157 = 375,860.157 \approx 375,860
\]

Thus, the projected population for Katsina-Ala in 2034 is approximately **375,860**.
