World Bank And Other Stakeholders Generate Idea On National Strategy For Statistical Development
Speaking at a National Stakeholders Engagement Workshop for the Drafting of the National Strategy for the Development of Statistics (NSDS) Phase III, the Statistician General of the Federation, Prince Adeyemi Adeniran, said the agency is about to embark on a transformative journey toward the formulation of a new National Strategy for the Development of Statistics in Nigeria.
The National Bureau of Statistics on Tuesday begun the process towards the drafting of the third phase of the National Strategy for the Development of Statistics.
The NSDS, which would cover the 2024-2028 period is a comprehensive framework to guide the systematic and coordinated development of statistical activities in the country.
It is designed to enhance the quality, relevance and accessibility of statistical data, which is crucial for evidence-based decision-making, policy formulation and national development planning.
He also said the Bureau would embrace the latest technological advancements to streamline data collection, analysis, reporting, and dissemination processes, noting that the current unrelenting digital revolution offers new opportunities to enhance statistical capabilities.
The new NSDS, 2024-2028 will provide mechanisms for a holistic reform of the National Statistical System (NSS) which will ensure an integrated, unified data production system.
It is intended to cover the entire NSS by bringing together all agencies involved in data production and management across the three tiers of government.
The production process will include, engage and involve major statistical stakeholders as well as policy makers at the Federal, State and Local Government levels; and also endeavour to integrate the statistical strategies and Master Plans of the national and sub-national governments.
The NSDS also serves as a comprehensive effort to present an assessment of the status of the NSS, as well as address the strategic issues to be implemented over a 5-year period.
The implementation of this new NSDS will span 2024-2028, and result in transforming the entire National Statistical System for enhanced global competitiveness ranking of the NSS across the three tiers of government.
