Actual spending report is presented in aggregated form in the budget implementation reports. At the level of presentation, data is minimally useful.

IBP's Open Budget Survey shows a year-end report. The Open Budget Library contains a year end report from 2013 which indicates that the data is not fully digital.

80 Weather forecast


Nigeria Meteorological Agency (NMA) is responsible for the release of weather forecast for selected cities in the country via their website, but presently largely on a daily basis.

As seen from their numerical weather portal they have a plan of making it available in more days, but presently non - functional.

Historical information is published on behalf of the NMA by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) World Weather Information Service at http://worldweather.wmo.int/en/country.html?countryCode=75

74 Water Quality


The Federal Ministry of Water Resources should have been the agency responsible for publishing water quality in the control, but it has not yet been available. While not sure if this is done by paper works, it is still far fetched as no reports has been published on water quality in Nigeria.

An alternative government portal that should have addressed water quality indicators in the country could have been the Nigeria Millennium Development Goals Information System but water quality described in their data only states physical structures of water source and not chemical components.

96 Procurement tenders


The Bureau of Public Procurement is responsible for publishing tenders and awards of the federal government, and its Ministries, Departments and Agencies.

The last consolidated procurement records released by this government agency was in 2011, while having some from 2010. However, it should be noted that the agency publishes Federal Executive Council's contracts for every three months in PDFs, which doesn't include the tender status.

The official website of the National Boundary Commission that should release the digital maps is unavailable.

Their official website s now available at http://www.boundarycommission.gov.ng/ but the maps tab has no information yet.

Maybe the Office of the Surveyor General of the Federation as well at http://osgof.gov.ng/ They have aggregates of digital maps domiciled in their offices, and might make it available online soon
