He was appointed by President Muhammadu Buhari in August 2021 to head the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS).

He replaced the former Statistician-General of the Federation, Yemi Kale, whose second term tenure of five years expired on August 16, 2021.

Recall that the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) recently debunked a report purporting that the NBS boss was dead.
