The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) kicked off a three-day strategic retreat in Abuja on Tuesday, bringing together its top management and the CEOs of agencies under the Ministry of Budget and Economic Planning.
The gathering aims to sharpen the bureau’s performance and better align its operations with Nigeria’s development agenda.
Speaking at the opening session, Mr. Adeyemi Adeniran, Statistician-General of the Federation and NBS CEO, emphasized the retreat’s role in forging stronger inter-agency collaboration and boosting service delivery.
“This retreat is very important for the development of our country because we are discussing performance-based management system,” he said.
“All the staff and agencies under the Ministry of Budget and Economic Planning have been taught about their roles and how their functions are contributing to the development of their country.”
Adeniran outlined the retreat’s objectives: reviewing working relationships among the NBS, the Nigerian Institute of Social and Economic Research, the Centre for Management Development, and the Budget Office; and devising strategies for efficient, collaborative delivery of each agency’s mandate.
“The three-day programme aims to look at the working relationship between the agencies under the Ministry of Budget and Economic Planning and how we can function properly,” he added.
“The retreat is going to help the NBS to deliver more as we have been doing before and with the performance contract of each staff, they can deliver their functions effectively to translate into the overall development of the country.”
Dr. Kenneth Kwujelu, Director of Plans and Projects at the Ministry, highlighted accountability measures introduced at the retreat. He explained that signing a performance bond is now a prerequisite for civil servants’ eligibility in promotion exams.
“People can be assigned to specific jobs and their performance is measured by that job,” Kwujelu said.
“They have to show the performance score to enable them qualify and be eligible for promotion and it helps us to measure individual staff.”
