The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) has reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring effective communication of its statistical data.

Folunrunsho Alesanmi, NBS spokesperson, said this during the send forth of the outgoing director of the department, Joel Ichedi, in Abuja on Tuesday.

Mr Alesanmi stated that the methodology used by NBS would be communicated clearly for easy understanding and utilisation by various stakeholders, including policymakers, researchers and the public.

“The vision is clear: we are going to have a clear and robust communication strategy that is implementable.

“The whole team is working on that to ensure we have a steady communication plan.

“This is to ensure we are not jumping from pillar to post when it comes to disseminating information to the public,” Mr Alesanmi said.

He commended the outgoing director for his team spirit and dedication to his work.

“We have had a very cordial relationship, and I know there is still so much more he can offer and contribute even after retirement,” he said.

Mr Ichedi thanked the staff members of his department for organising the send forth in his honour, as he expressed joy at seeing his retirement.

He advised the junior staff members to be hardworking and dedicated to their work to attain the level of director someday.
