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!
