Govt Statistician title should be changed — Prof. Nsowah-Nuamah

Nsowah-Nuamah said the recurring public criticism of official economic statistics, particularly inflation figures, was partly attributable to the title of the head of the Statistical Service.

Nsowah-Nuamah said the Ghana Statistical Service remained the country's principal producer of official statistics and played a critical role in national development.

Nsowah-Nuamah, has called for the title "Government Statistician" to be changed to "Statistician General", arguing that the current designation creates the wrong public perception about the independence of Ghana's official statistics.
