He said “This committee will serve as a vital platform for stakeholders to work together in strengthening our statistical framework. I urge members to be bold, innovative, and collaborative in building a world-class data system that will support our state’s development aspirations.”

Earlier in his remarks, the Chairman of the State Planning Commission, Dr. Bong Duke, underscored the SCCS’s role in fostering synergy between state and federal agencies, development partners, and key stakeholders.

He emphasized the theme of the meeting, ‘Enhancing Data Integration and Interoperability in the Cross-Universal State Statistical System.’ He stressed the importance of modern technologies like artificial intelligence, blockchain, and big data analytics in improving data accuracy and policy effectiveness.

“The integration and interoperability of data systems are crucial in today’s digital age. By ensuring seamless data sharing and standardization, we can enhance the quality of decision-making and governance across the state,” Dr. Duke noted.

He further explained that the committee will work closely with the State Planning Commission and the State Bureau of Statistics to address challenges in data harmonization, privacy concerns, and information accessibility.

“The goal is to create a secure, transparent, and inclusive data ecosystem that aids in policy development and economic planning,” he added.
