The statistician-general of the federation, Simon Harry, is dead.
It was gathered that Harry died in the early hours of Wednesday in Abuja.
The demise of the statistician-general of the federation comes barely seven months after he was appointed by President Muhammadu Buhari.
Further details on the death of Simon Harry remain sketchy as of the time of filing this report.
Harry was appointed by President Buhari in August 2021 to replace Yemi Kale as statistician-general of the federation to head the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS).
Until his appointment, Harry was the Director, Corporate Planning and Technical Coordination Department of NBS with almost three decades of statistical experience.
He joined the erstwhile Federal Office of Statistics as Statistician 11 in 1992 and rose to the position of a substantive Director of Statistics in 2019.
