Dr. Harry is to succeeded the out-going Statistician-General, Dr. Yemi Kale, whose second term tenure of five years expires on 16th August, 2021.

Another one from that up side

Aboki no Sabi statistics

People here were waiting to see names like Mohammed, Aliyu, Yinusa, Abubakar, Hassan, etc as the new Statistician-General of the Federation

So it will give them a reason to criticize Buhari. I wonder how you all sit down and do this for 8 years of your life. At least Reno is doing it as a big boy. I don't know about you.

b3llo:
Aboki no Sabi statistics

You dey my mind abi. That's it oooh. Aboki no sabi statistics from "baba inept" appointment.

Buhari must have searched all the nooks and crannies of the North and couldn't find any Fulani Muslim with a degree or even a diploma in Statistics before he grudgingly gave it to a [southern] Christian!
Buhari, the Fulani emperor!

What's the congratulatory all about. Is there going to be any changes with this currupt system?

Hmm
