The Federal Government is to reinforce her collaboration with the Institute of Statistics of the United Nation’s Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) with a view to addressing the challenges of data collection and analysis in the Education sector in Nigeria.


Education Minister, Malam Adamu Adamu, stated this on Monday, June 13, 2016 in his office in Abuja when he received in audience, the Regional Adviser of the UNESCO Institute for Statistics based in Dakar, Senegal, Mr. Yacouba Djibo Abdou.


Acknowledging the significance of data collection and analysis in Educational planning and development, Malam Adamu Adamu listed some of the challenges facing data collection to include funding, capacity building, infrastructural development and inadequate collaboration at various levels.


The Minister called for the continued support of UNESCO and its Member States in ensuring improvement of the quality and analysis of data globally
He described the visit of  Mr. Djibo as timely, coming at a time Nigeria has joined other countries of the world in the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Speaking earlier, the Regional Adviser to the UNESCO institute for Statistics,  Mr. Yacouba Djibo  said his organization provides services such as collecting and disseminating statistics in education, science and technology, as well as culture, and communication.


According to him, his institute is also involved in  setting and applying standards to compare data internationally; helping Member States to improve the quality  and analysis of their data; monitoring progress towards international development goals, especially concerning gender; designing new indicators to better reflect the policy needs of developing  countries; and promoting wider use of data for policy making.


He pointed out that the Institute in its bid to improve the quality and analysis of data, has supported Nigeria with capacity building programmes for  Nigeria Education Management Information System (NEMIS) staff, the National Bureau of Statistics as well as other agencies responsible for collating data in education, science and technology, culture, and communication.


Mr. Djibo said that the Institute has been working closely with relevant MDAs in Nigeria over the years to ensure the production of accurate and reliable data.


He reaffirmed the commitment of the institute to support Nigeria in areas of statistical development across all sectors of the country’s economy.
