The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) has begun verification of all Better Education Service for All (BESDA) focused centres in Oyo State.

Executive Chairman, Oyo State Universal Basic Education Board (OYOSUBEB), Dr. Nureni Aderemi Adeniran, while speaking during the flag-off of a five-day training of NBS enumerators in Ibadan, yesterday, said the board would collaborate with NBS to ensure a hitch-free exercise in the state.

Adeniran said his office, in partnership with office of the Statistician-General of the state, would ensure the enumerators have unhindered access to the 21 BESDA focused local councils in the state.

South-West Zonal Controller, NBS, Mr. Bayo Okunuga, who spoke earlier, hinted that the trained enumerators, who are also referred to as NBS verification agents, would be deployed across various local councils to collect data.
