1 FOREWORD

The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) Corporate Strategy Implementation Plan (2014-

2016) seeks to provide both government and the general public with an insight into the

general direction of the Bureau in terms of programmes and activities, as well as my

strategic vision for the Bureau and the National Statistical System over the period January

2014 to December 2016.

As our country returns to strategic planning, monitoring and evaluation amid increasing

appreciation of evidence-based policy-making, particularly under the Federal

Government’s Transformation Agenda, NBS is prepared to continue to play its role as

producer of statistical information needed to formulate and evaluate public policy. While

the Bureau has come a long way in the delivery of its mandate as contained in the

Statistics Act 2007 and the National Strategy for the Development of Statistics, several

challenges remain. These include administrative, technical operations, financial, as well as

coordination issues. Each of these challenges is however being addressed through a

holistic strategic approach that ensures that the Bureau remains exemplary in

administration, professional and independent in its operations, and sustainable with

respect to finances. The different sections of this document elucidate this approach.

The NBS Corporate Strategy Implementation Plan (2014-2016) is a plain and accessible

document in non-technical terms conveying a better understanding of the role and

mandate of the NBS as coordinator and custodian of official statistics in Nigeria. I hope

that this document will foster greater understanding and appreciation of the many

aspects of our work at NBS. I also anticipate that data users – government, businesses

and citizens alike – are able to engage more meaningfully in the debates and discussions

on national economic development so that, ultimately, all are better informed and can

effectively play their respective roles in the pursuit of national development

2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The National Bureau of Statistics’ vision is to become a foremost and modern knowledge-based national statistical agency in Africa, generating timely, relevant and accurate statistics on all facets of socio-economic life in Nigeria. In view of resource constraints and guided by the principles of efficiency, effectiveness and sustainability, the Statistician-General in pursuit for his mandate identified five priority areas of focus during the period 2014-2016. The first is data production which aims to provide reliable socio-economic data on Nigeria, by strengthening the system of administrative statistics through greater coordination and collaboration, while improving data collection processes, expanding scope of data sources and harmonizing related surveys to streamline the Bureau’s operations. This area also involves a phased migration from paper-based to electronic-based questionnaires such as the Computer Aided Personal Interviewing System (CAPISs) and the use of statistical models to produce credible estimates to fill in data gaps during years when we are unable to conduct surveys (usually due to funding constraints).

The second area is data dissemination, which seeks to deploy modern technology and social media to ensure that users – government, enterprises and citizens – have the data they require to make sound decisions. Thirdly, statistical advocacy will be scaled-up to increase awareness about what data already exists, and stimulating greater use of data

in evidence-based policymaking for the ultimate goal of national transformation. Achieving these three goals will rest on a strong and versatile human resource development programme which is targeted at invigorating both staff and management with a sense of mission at the Bureau. A system of incentives that rewards knowledge, skills and lateral thinking is being initiated to ensure that NBS remains on track to achieve its vision. This is being complemented by a potent information technology infrastructure with the aim of increasing productivity of staff, ensure greater accuracy in data collection, analysis and reporting, as well as receiving feedback from data users, all in a bid to deliver better data. Furthermore, a review of key processes including statistical methodology, administrative procedures and access to information is also being undertaken with the aim of making them more efficient, current and in line with international standards, where obtainable.

In carrying out these initiatives and addressing these challenges, the Bureau is mindful of the funding requirements necessary to sustain the progress realised within the last few months. Indeed, on many occasions, the Central Bank of Nigeria and international development partners have generously supported the Bureau’s efforts to overcome its financial limitations. The Corporate Strategy emphasises greater reliance on own funds through realistic initiatives that protect its professional independence while ensuring long-term sustainable business operations.

3 BACKGROUND: VISION, MISSION AND PRIORITY AREAS

The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) is Nigeria’s official statistical agency with responsibility to collect, analyse, publish and disseminate socio-economic statistics to policy makers, researchers and the general public. It was established under the Statistics Act (2007) which merged the erstwhile Federal Office of Statistics (FOS) and the National Data Bank (NDB). The Act confers on the Bureau the role of coordinator of the National Statistical System -a broad group of stakeholders with oversight responsibility for statistical development in Nigeria including advocacy on statistics, determination on methodological issues - as well as fostering collaboration with other agencies, both governmental and non-governmental.

Under the ministerial superintendence of the Honourable Minister for National Planning, the National Bureau of Statistics is headed by the Statistician-General, and supported by a Management Board. There are eight (8) Departments in the Bureau, with a director/head who reports to the Statistician-General. Each department has a number of divisions within it. The departments and their divisions are as follows:

1. Demographic and Social Statistics Departmento Demographic Statistics Divisiono Social Statistics Division

2. Real Sector and Household Statistics Department

6. Field Services and Methodology Departmento Field services Divisiono Methodology Division

7. Corporate Planning and Technical Co-ordinationDepartment

o Corporate Planning Division o Technical Coordination Division

8. Information and Communication Technology Department

o System Programming and Operation Divisiono Data Management Division

In addition to these, there are five (5) Units attached to the Office of the Statistician-General. These are:

o Public Affairs and International Relations Unit,o Legal Unito Internal Audit Unito Project Implementation Unito Procurement/Budget Unit

This is the second edition of National Bureau of Statistics’ Corporate Strategy document. It presents the work programme and activities of the Bureau in line with the Statistics Act 2007, and highlights the vision cum strategic focus of the Statistician-General for the Bureau specifically, as well as statistical development in Nigeria generally for the period 2014– 2016.

3.1 Vision and Mission

The National Bureau of Statistics strategic action plan is based on achieving set objectives through various activities, which will define the fundamental purpose of the Bureau in its mission, and guide it in achieving its vision.

9

June 2014

The specific projects and activities are related to each of the five priority areas/objectives and programmed to accomplish the Bureau’s mission and vision.

4 WORK PROGRAMME: COMMITTED TO DEMAND-DRIVEN SERVICE DELIVERY

Three fundamental principles underlying the corporate strategy (2014-2016) as well as all NBS operations are sustainability, effectiveness and efficiency. The Sustainability principle ensures that given its resource flow, NBS can

Vision statement: To become one of the foremost and modern knowledge-based

national statistical offices in Africa and indeed the world.

Mission statement: To generate, on a continuous and sustainable basis, socio-

economic statistics on all facets of development in Nigeria.

Statistician-General's Priority Areas- Data production - Data dissemination

- Human capital development - Advocacy - Information Technology

continue its operations as a professional and independent national statistical office that produces accurate, reliable and timely data with the highest levels of integrity. In line with the Effectiveness principle, NBS will aim to achieve its mandate through activities and strategies that are well thought-out, tested and proven, relying on modern technology and improved administrative processes. Lastly, the Efficiency principle dictates that NBS’ focus is to achieve the highest possible returns from available resources.

These guiding principles have become necessary in view of the fact that NBS faces severe funding challenges, which constrain the scope of data production activities that can be executed in any fiscal year. In this regard, effort is being made to implement a demand-driven service operation at NBS. This means that given its annual resource envelope, rather than producing data that will not necessarily be useful, the Bureau will focus on the production of data that is in greatest demand. Prioritisation of the most critical surveys and data production activities has already been concluded. Indeed, since the fourth quarter of 2011, key stakeholders (primarily in the public sector) have been providing NBS with a template of data requirements for 20121. One of the Bureau’s key performance indicators for 2012 is to have at least 65% of federal agencies put in their data requests for the 2013. Thus, five priority areas have been identified under the strategic plan period:

1 A comprehensive list of the Federal ministries, departments and agencies that have been contacted is provided in Annexures 1 and 5.

4.1 Data Production

4.1.1Administrative data collection2

Administrative data, perhaps, constitute the most important source of official statistics in many countries. However, due to years of neglect of statistical units within Federal Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), data production through this source has been weakened and ineffective3. To improve the current state of administrative data production in Nigeria, the NBS has commenced consultation with federal MDAs to solicit and elicit cooperation with respect to regular reporting of sector-specific data in the regular course of business of these MDAs4. To facilitate this, the NBS has recently developed an online, electronic platform that provides real-time data collection templates for all the MDAs and State Statistical Agencies (SSAs). The platform, which is integrated into the NBS’ corporate website, is secure and customised

Once the system is fully in place, it is expected that the system of administrative statistics (SAS) would become the more dominant source of official statistics in the country. Also, in 2013 the NBS will commence monitoring visits to SSAs to evaluate data collection and systems in place for the SAS.

4.1.2 Surveys6

Harmonized Socio-Economic SurveyUntil recently, several individual survey exercises were being conducted separately, often with some overlapping indicators. However, these surveys have been identified, pooled and re-named the Harmonized Socio-Economic survey. This is a move towards ensuring greater prudence and efficiency in resource deployment. The Harmonized Socio-economic survey is made up of the following surveys:

NBS/CBN/NCC Collaborative Survey: Combination ofo General Household Surveyo National Agricultural Sample Surveyo National Integrated Survey of Establishments

(NISE) Small Medium Enterprise Development Agency of

Nigeria (SMEDAN) Survey Core Welfare Indicator Questionnaire (CWIQ) Labour Force Survey

It is also made up of the following modules: Gender-based violence Human Development Index

Methodological Review of Macroeconomic Statistics

16

June 2014

Macroeconomic data produced by the NBS is a pivotal input for government agenciesand business decisions across the country. It is equally important for international investors considering taking risks in emerging markets. Thus, the NBS has commenced the review of macro-economic data produced by the organization especially the Consumer Price Index, Gross Domestic Product, and Foreign Trade Statistics.

Training on Macroeconomic ModellingProjections on key macroeconomic indicators are important inputs for policymakers, and a prerequisite ingredient in facing the unknown with greater levels of confidence. To augment its existing data collection techniques, NBS is evolving macro-economic forecasting procedures using econometrics-based models. In the past, projections have

17

June 2014

been made principally for the country’s GDP. However, with the aid of advanced econometric models, the Macroeconomic Statistics department is able to make projections on three key statistics that it produces viz inflation, GDP, and trade. The objective is to ensure greater levels of confidence in outcomes from survey results.

June 2014

comparison of economic development while providing a platform for evidence-based planning and policy formulation at the State level. The project, which has commenced with a series of advocacy activities and training needs assessment across the country, is expected to be concluded by August 2012.

Rebasing / re-benchmarking of national GDP estimatesA related exercise to the afore-mentioned computation of State GDP in Nigeria is the rebasing/re-benchmarking exercise, which the NBS is currently spearheading. The rebasing exercise involves a periodic review of base year data against which current year GDP estimates are compared. This is expected to be conducted every ten (10) years, but the exercise has not been done since the 1990S. As a result, current level of economic activities in Nigeria are still being compared to economic conditions in 1990 which, on all counts, can no longer be said to fully represent an appropriate base against which to compare current economic realities in Nigeria. Obviously, new economic activities and major industries have evolved since this base period (1990) which need to be incorporated in the computation of GDP estimates in the current period. Once this exercise is concluded, it is expected that the GDP series will potentially put Nigeria nearer the very top of Africa’s largest economies. A special study will be conducted to incorporate the estimates of travel agencies, tourism centres, courier services, tour

20

June 2014

operators, inland water transport, mobile phones, internet, and courier services and such activities that are at present not adequately captured but which are in line with the global System of National Accounts (SNA) i.e. SNA 1993 and SNA 2008. Actual output and other relevant variables will be collected. This will also include activities of the informal sector in key economic activity sectors. Administrative data from relevant activities will serve to complement the data collection from key institutions.

4.2 Data DisseminationThe second priority area under the corporate strategy is Data Dissemination. Data is not useful in any way where it is produced but not released to the public or other concerned stakeholders. In the past, several studies and surveys have been conducted but, due to various reasons, remained unpublished. Since the 2007 Act mandates the publication and dissemination of data by NBS, and considering the enormous resources expended in producing such data, data publication and dissemination is a cardinal aspect of the corporate strategy 2012-2014. In line with the sustainability principle, greater emphasis is being accorded to web-based data dissemination approaches, as against paper (hard) copies of publications. Consideration for the environment as well as limited finances necessitate that this approach is chosen for disseminating data at NBS. Nevertheless, a limited quantity of printed copies will be provided. Presently, several initiatives are being undertaken

21

June 2014

concurrently. Listed below are dissemination media to be utilised7:

a) Fully-functional and interactive web-site, to host:

i. Comprehensive Reports

ii. Online Data Analysis Portal

iii. National data archive

b) Periodic publication of News Letters

c) Social Networks i.e Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube;

d) RSS Feeds and

e) Bulk SMS

4.3 Human Capital Development StrategyThe NBS recognises the importance of building staff capacity in order to equip them to adequately carry out their responsibilities. Accordingly, the recruitment of the best hands and training and re-training of existing staff is a critical aspect of the human capital development strategy.

RecruitmentNBS has been unable to carry out any recruitment of staff for the past seven years due to funding constraints and inability to secure the necessary approvals from the Federal Government. This, if not addressed as soon as possible, will leave a big gap in the staff structure as older staffs retire. In light of this, NBS is committed to carrying out recruitment of new staff, once every year for the next three years, at junior and middle levels. This we believe will not just add fresh graduates with new and bright ideas to the staff but also add

7 All the online media tools will be fully functional by mid 2012.

22

June 2014

adequate experience. The recruitment process will also take a new dimension. Unlike in previous exercises where candidates were recruited without possessing appropriate skills relevant for the job, going forward, only candidates who meet set standards and have relevant statistical qualifications and skills will be engaged. To ensure credibility, the entire process will be managed by an independent consulting firm.

Training and Capacity BuildingTraining and capacity building will take a new dimension in NBS from previous times. The new strategy will involve training being carried out at different levels i.e. Management level, Departmental level, Individual level and General level capacity building. Under management level training, this will involve bi-annual management retreats taking place at selected locations in the country. All departmental heads, heads of units, divisions and state and zonal officers will be in attendance. External stakeholders will also be invited to help NBS review performance, share experiences and brainstorm new ideas and initiatives aimed at improving the organisation. This will be held in June and December of every year.

Departmental level capacity building programs will take place every month of the year across the NBS and will ensure each department gets a minimum of 1 and maximum of 2 training programmes a year. Under this arrangement, each department will receive different trainings relevant to their

23

June 2014

assignments and schedules. This will include both trainers from inside the organisation and outside the organisation. Departmental trainings will be given on various areas not just relevant to statistics but also areas such as communication, team work and time management.

Individual trainings will also be scaled up at NBS. Due to funding issues in the past, officers did not receive as much training needed to keep up with the level of our counterparts in more developed countries. Going forward, all training funds and opportunities, which are internally and externally funded, will be harmonised to ensure that each desk officer receives at least one mandatory training a year relevant to their schedule. This will include local or international trainings. As part of our reward and incentive system, the NBS will reward high achieving staff with training opportunities to encourage them and increase efficiency in amongst other staff. This will not only enhance the capacity and skills of our staff but will also increase moral.

Every quarter we will conduct personal building sessions. This will involve each department and unit giving lectures on their schedules and work, for example, the macro statistics department will give a lecture on topics such as the computation of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) estimates, Composite Price Index (CPI) and Trade figures. This we believe will strengthen the general capacity level of all our staff; make them more abreast of the work, activities and functions of all the departments in the bureau. This will also make our staff more professional, keep them updated on

24

June 2014

activities of the bureau and more aware of developing trends in the field of statistics. It is expected that this will help spread the message of statistics as NBS seeks to advance the use of statistics in planning and decision making in Nigeria through our staff who are better able to articulate the various activities of the Bureau.

4.4 Information Technology StrategyAs indicated earlier, available modern technology will be fully deployed to improve all stages of the data production chain – from data collection to report publication. Information technology will form the bedrock and indeed the driving force for the strategic initiatives at NBS. Table 6 below shows the ICT projects and timelines:

4.54.64.74.84.94.104.114.124.13 Statistics Advocacy

In Nigeria, as in many other countries, the production and use of statistics can be subjected to other influences that either enhance or diminish its value to society. Advocacy not only helps to inform the user of statistics of the inherent benefits of supporting the statistical system (e.g through accurate completion of solicited questionnaires etc), it also informs the producer of what more needs to be done to move the statistical system in the desired direction. Moreover, without adequate, consistent and effective advocacy, policy-makers could withhold necessary funds for statistical activities. In this regard, statistical advocacy is crucial particularly to decision-makers both in the public and private sectors, who are typically the primary financiers. In the case of official statistics, it is even more crucial since it is always convenient

28

June 2014

to stifle funds to agencies that are considered least important, as statistical offices are often viewed. However, the nature of socio-economic data is such that allocating funds haphazardly does not do much good, especially in the long term. The immediate result is that data collection activities are delayed and become difficult to track over time, creating data gaps, which then have to be filled up with less-accurate estimates. The corporate strategy emphasises greater advocacy particularly in the public sector to encourage its use, understand its limitations and appreciate its potency in policy-formulation and evaluation. With this in mind, NBS advocacy activities cover all stakeholders: Federal/State governments, private sector and Non-governmental organisations (NGOs) through periodic public interactions and engagements. It also reaches out to the general public through an enhanced media and web-presence8.

also enunciated in the document. The strategic plan, if fully implemented, will place NBS as one of the most advanced statistical agencies in Africa and certainly one of the best in the world. It is our hope that the document will enhance readers’ understanding of our activities, challenges and strategic direction at NBS, and this heightened understanding will in turn make citizens to be more interested in statistical information. It will also help public policy makers appreciate to a larger extent the usefulness of statistics for evidence-based policy formulation, monitoring and evaluation towards sustainable economic development.
