Sources familiar with the development told Daily Trust that he was rushed to the hospital on Saturday and was responding to treatment but he died on Wednesday morning.
Confirming the development, the Director, Corporate Communications and Public Relations at the NBS, Mr. Sunday Ichedi said, “It is confirmed, the statistician general is dead.”
