By Okeoghene Akubuike
The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) has reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring effective communication of its statistical data.
Mr Folunrunsho Alesanmi, Head, Communications and Public Relations Department, NBS, said this during the send-forth of the outgoing Director of the department, Mr Joel Ichedi, in Abuja on Tuesday.
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.”
He commended the outgoing director for his team spirit and dedication to his work.
“Mr Ichedi when he assigns tasks will not rest on his oars until everything is perfectly done.
“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.
Ichedi thanked the members of staff 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 in order to attain the level of director someday.
Ichedi thanked the media for their cooperation throughout his tenure in ensuring the activities of the NBS were effectively communicated.
The News Agency of Nigeria(NAN) reports that Ichedi, a renowned statistician and communication expert, retired from the Federal Civil Service on Tuesday after 33 years of service.
