A statement by Ichedi, Sunday Joel
Director, Communication and Public Relations Department of NBS, however acknowledged that the Statistician General was ‘slightly indisposed on Saturday but now recuperating following medication.

‘We are all mortals and by nature sometimes get weary.
‘That is the case of the Statistician General now and it is not unusual for anybody to get sometimes get weary in the course of daily endeavours.
‘We are using this to advice the general public to completely discountenance the purported death of the Statistician General by a disreputable online medium, which has been noted for ‘irresponsible and fake news journalism’ since it deputed.
‘While thanking those that have expressed concern about the health situation of the Statistician General in the past few hours following the ‘junk’ from the online medium’, the statement added.
