41	National Statistics URL: http://nigeria.prognoz.com/ Format: json There are plans to make more data available in future . The National Bureau of Statistics have now started making data available online - first is with its elibrary at http://nigerianstat.gov.ng/nbslibrary and recently an amazing data portal at http://nigeria.prognoz.com/ However, when we tried using the xls download button it returned the map version of the data??? I am thinking it should give a spreadsheet as output. An excellent progress overall!

66	Pollutant Emissions URL: https://oilspillmonitor.ng/ The data is not the official. The Official data should be on National Oil Spill Detection and Response Agency(NOSDRA) http://nosdra.gov.ng/ but presently they do not have a data portal. In 2014, NOSDRA released a map data of oil spills in the country at https://oilspillmonitor.ng/ however, overall pollutants emission monitoring is the responsibility of NESREA (National Environmental Standards & Regulation Enforcement Agency) which has its website at http://www.nesrea.gov.ng/ , unfortunately, it does not have a data portal

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
