 Data management experts believe Nigeria's economy will receive a boost with the synchronisation of data. Members of the West African Young Statisticians Association discussed this at the Second Biennial International Workshop and Conference on Economic and Social Goods, forecasting at the University of Ibado Conference Centre. The Iowa State Commission for Public Works, Infrastructure and Transport, Dawood Sungodoy, says provisions should be made for easy access to data. For societal needs, data guides. When data guides and you analyse data using science, scientific tools, then you will make logic out of it. One thing is it will drive the economy, it will assist the educational system, it will assist the health sector, it will actually help us to guide or improve on the security. Sustainable capacity building is the only way we can develop our country as we can see, as a proof. You know, the developing countries are data driven somehow. Where we are talking of data, you know, to be able to do all these things, we need data. We need to know how many of us are even we are planning for. But we don't have our proper data, it now becomes a problem. And most of the times what I really realise with this same thing is that lack of family, private funding, even those people that are supposed to do the work, they are really well equipped to be able to carry out all these activities.
