Federation on Nigeria : training and recruitment problems: status of statisticians and sub-professional and executive staff

Abstract

The first professional grades is that of statisticians for which the requisite qualification is either a University honours degree in Economics or Mathematics with statistics in either case or the Final examination for the Associateship of the English Institute of Statistics. But as pointed out in section (iv) above the supply of candidates with the recuisite qualifications is very short and as a short-term measure the Department has recruited some mathematical graduates with a view to giving them appropriate statistical training.
