Today at NISR, we celebrated African Statistics Day and awarded winners of the 📌 Infographics Competition, 📌 Big_Data Hackathon, and 📌 Data Journalism Awards. ➡️ Aligned with the 2025 theme, "Leveraging innovations in data and statistics to promote a just, peaceful, inclusive, and prosperous society for Africans", the event highlighted the critical role of data in development. The DDG of NIST @JClaude_Mw emphasized that “a just, peaceful, inclusive, and prosperous society cannot be achieved without credible, timely, and disaggregated data. This is why today’s celebration places a special spotlight on students and journalists, the future producers, interpreters, and storytellers of data.” @malaw1twit from @ONS, noted that “innovation in data is not a luxury, it is central to decision-making, transparency, and accountability.” #AfricanStatisticsDay #InfographicCompetition #BigDataHackathon
