The former statistician-general of the federation, Yemi Kale, has criticised the new methodology the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) used to evaluate Nigeria’s unemployment rate.
Kale said he resisted the attempt to adopt the new methodology for 10 years because it doesn’t reflect the reality of the job market in Nigeria.
He exited NBS in August 2021 to join KPMG Nigeria as a Partner and Chief Economist. Simon Harry took over Kale’s position as statistician-general of Nigeria.
