1.1 HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
The
National Bureau of statistics (NBS) has a humble beginning starting in
1928 as a statistics unit in the office of the colonial secretary in the
cabinet secretariat of British Colonial administration.
In 1947 a
more focused reorganization took place with the establishment of a
statistics section in the department of customs and exercise which later
metamorphosed into a full pledged department of statistics.
In 1949,
the departments responsibilities were expanded to form the nucleus of a
centralized national statistics office for the country with the
adoption of the federal system of government in 1968 central and the
regional government had their statistics establishments incorporated
into a decentralized National Statistics System (NSS). A legal frame
work for statistics operation in Nigeria was unable with the statistics
act of 1937. The act gave backing for a decentralized statistical system
but advocated collaboration between the central and regional
statistical office in addition to co-ordinate their activities.
