Buhari Appoints Semiu Adeniran As New Statistician-general by Warlord12(op): 10:25pm On May 20, 2022
President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the appointment of Mr Semiu Adeyemi Adeniran as the substantive Statistician-General of the federation and Chief Executive Officer of the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), with immediate effect.


The appointment follows the demise of the former Statistician-General of the Federation, Dr Simon Harry, on 13th April, 2022.

A statement signed by Sufuyan Ojeifo, Special Assistant (Media) to the Minister of State, Budget and National Planning, noted that until his appointment, Adeniran was the Director of Demographic and Household Statistics at NBS.

The statement added that the new NBS boss “is a professional statistician of repute with bias for Demography and Social Statistics. “He has over three decades of statistical hands-on experience garnered from various local and international institutions.”

I hope the new SGF gives accurate figures, most especially M—on—M & Y—on—Y CPI.

I wish him success

None of the statistics from NBS is correct. They are all politically doctored

Once it's a position that requires serious cracking of brain and very little cash flow in the sector, they give it out to non Muslim fulani.

But once it's a sector that permits serious cash flow, it's reserved for them alone.

Almost a year to go that's all I can say.

The litmus test will be the next AGF

That was years back.
Not anymore now. Data from NBS now has a lot of integrity because they now gather data in collaboration with world bank .
Even international bodies quote their figures extensively.

Except maybe you want them to only publish what you want and not the real statistics

He reserves the juicy positions for his kinsmen and dish out less attractive and more demanding roles to the southerners.

He'll only put Southerners where they'll need to use brain to cook figures, but he'll put dull Abokeys where they will cook money undecided

When he heard semiu, he thought he was a northerner...

He may reverse the decision if he later finds out he's not from the north.

You cannot blame them.
Yorubas are the most educated Nigerians followed by Hausa people now.Hausa have more professors than Igbos now.

The recent 2017 NUC stats confirmed this.
Hausas are not dulling at all..
