Why this project exists

The portfolio should not rely exclusively on synthetic datasets. This case introduces applied public-data evidence using World Bank indicators so the workflow can be tested against real-world reporting, provenance, update cycles, and measurement definitions.

The World Bank currently reports Nigeria's 2025 consumer-price inflation at 23.0%, population at 237,527,782, electricity access at 62.5% in 2024, and individuals using the internet at 41% in 2024.

Analytical frame

  1. Define the indicator and unit.
  2. Record source and latest available year.
  3. Separate stock variables from rates and percentages.
  4. Compare indicators only when definitions and periods are explicit.
  5. Document update date and limitations.
