Details

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

Reviewer comments

The official government website does not have the required data. Most data for this needs to be available in bulk.
