Abstract
The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) was established with the Statistics Act of 2007 and the merger of the Federal Office of Statistics (FOS) and the National Data Bank (NDB). Nigeria has a Federal System of government with 36 States and a Federal Capital Territory and 774 Local Government Areas. Each Federal Ministry, Department and Agency has a Director of Statistics. Each state has a Director of Statistics and a Head of statistics Unit at the Local Government level. These and the Statistical Institutes constitute Nigeria's National Statistical System (NSS) which is coordinated by the NBS. The Nigeria National Data Archive was established to:
Promote best practice and international standards for the documentation of microdata amongst data producers in the country
Provide equitable access to microdata in the interest of all citizens
Ensure the long term preservation of microdata and the related metadata, and their continued viability and usability
The Data Archive holds NBS datasets from 1999 to the current year.
