Every dataset on data.civic.ng comes from one of the providers below. Trust level reflects institutional standing, not data quality.
The World Bank Group
Free and open access to global development data, including indicators for Nigeria across economy, infrastructure, governance, trade, education, and health.
Notes: Primary multilateral source. Indicator updates typically lag the reference year by several months.
UN OCHA Centre for Humanitarian Data
Open platform for humanitarian data, including IDP movements, conflict events, food security assessments, and operational presence in Nigeria.
Notes: Each dataset on HDX has its own license. Always check the dataset page before redistribution.
UNESCO
Internationally comparable statistics on education, including enrollment, literacy, and learning outcomes for Nigeria.
Notes: Coverage of subnational Nigeria indicators is limited; expect country-level series.
USAID Famine Early Warning Systems Network
Food security analysis and IPC-aligned acute food insecurity classifications for Nigeria, including outlook periods.
Notes: Some embedded inputs (e.g. partner imagery) carry their own licenses. FEWS NET classifications are estimates, not official government figures.
Independent National Electoral Commission
Official electoral authority of Nigeria. Source of polling unit registry, voter registration figures, and election results.
Notes: Official source of election results. Re-publishers should treat INEC declarations as authoritative and clearly attribute.
OpenStreetMap Foundation
Community-edited world map. Nigeria coverage includes roads, buildings, points of interest, and administrative boundaries.
Notes: Community-contributed. Quality varies by region. Always credit OpenStreetMap contributors when redistributing.
Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team
Curated thematic exports from OpenStreetMap, including Nigeria roads, buildings, and waterways for humanitarian and infrastructure use.
Notes: Derivative of OpenStreetMap; the same attribution and share-alike requirements apply.
CivicNG
Reproducible CivicNG-derived indicators computed from audited upstream datasets where no official subnational series is directly published.
Notes: Derived indicators are not official statistics. Every series must include source references, methodology versioning, and explicit limitations.
CivicNG
Shared CivicNG data surface for reusable datasets, baseline registries, and downstream-ready civic intelligence contracts.
Notes: data.civic.ng can publish curated and derived CivicNG-owned datasets. These are not official government statistics unless the dataset explicitly says so.
Code for Africa
Pan-African open data portal hosting community-contributed datasets, including Nigeria-specific civic, governance, and economic data.
Notes: Quality and provenance vary widely. Each dataset must be evaluated individually before reuse.
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis
Macro-economic time series, including Nigeria series sourced from the World Bank, IMF, and other institutional providers.
Notes: FRED is a redistributor. Treat the upstream provider as the authoritative source and respect their terms.
National Bureau of Statistics, Nigeria
Nigeria’s official statistical authority. Publishes GDP, CPI, labor force, and demographic releases.
Notes: Official figures. Redistribution should preserve attribution and reference the original release.
Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project
Disaggregated event-level data on political violence and protest, including Nigeria coverage from 1997 to present.
Notes: Use is governed by ACLED’s terms. Commercial redistribution is restricted; review the license before integrating.
International Organization for Migration — Displacement Tracking Matrix
Operational data on internal displacement, returns, and movement intentions in Nigeria, especially the North-East and North-Central.
Notes: Round-based data. Coverage and methodology evolve over time; always cite the round and reference period.
Presidency of the Federal Republic of Nigeria
Official website of the Nigerian Presidency. Publishes the President, Vice President, and the current federal cabinet roster.
Notes: Authoritative current roster for the federal executive. Some cabinet slots may lag or appear blank; cross-check with OSGF before treating a change as final.
OSGF, Federal Republic of Nigeria
Publishes federal ministries with named ministers and a directory of federal agencies. Used for cabinet cross-checks and MDA discovery.
Notes: Ministries page is a strong corroboration source. The federal-agencies directory contains archived links and is discovery-only: never auto-publish office-holders from it.
National Assembly, Federal Republic of Nigeria
Official legislature source for serving senators and House of Representatives members, principal officers, and committee leadership.
Notes: Member rosters update after inaugurations, by-elections, and leadership changes.
National Judicial Council, Federal Republic of Nigeria
Official source for judicial office-holders where publicly published: heads of courts and judicial appointments announcements.
Notes: Only judicial roles that are officially published are in scope. Judicial officers below publicly published leadership are excluded.
National Universities Commission, Federal Republic of Nigeria
Canonical discovery source for federal and state universities. Institution websites then verify the serving vice-chancellor and principal officers.
Notes: Two-step pattern: NUC answers "which public universities exist"; each institution site answers "who currently heads it".
State Governments of Nigeria
The official websites of Nigeria’s 36 state governments and the FCT, used for state executive councils, commissioners, state assemblies, and officially published local government leadership.
Notes: Quality and freshness vary widely by state. Each state site is scored individually before its assertions can verify an appointment.
Africa API (commercial data provider)
Commercial aggregation API redistributing Nigeria national grid operations signals (generation, frequency, daily energy) that originate from grid operator daily reports.
Notes: Third-party aggregator, not the official system operator. The upstream chain back to the grid operator is not independently published, so records from this source are operational signals, not official statistics. Country-level only; no state or LGA metering.
Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, Federal Republic of Nigeria
The electricity sector regulator. Publishes quarterly reports with per-DisCo performance statistics: energy offtake, billing efficiency, revenue collection efficiency, and ATC&C losses.
Notes: Quarterly reports are published as PDFs roughly one quarter in arrears. Statistics are reported per DisCo franchise area, not per state; franchise areas span multiple states and Lagos is served by two DisCos.
