I have been having trouble getting data on secondary statistics in Nigeria like GDP and Crude Oil Export rates. The data should be available on the Nigeria Bureau of Statistics website but I am unable to view or download data from the time frame I am trying to look at(2014 -2024). I will keep trying and consider utilizing alternate data sources or changing the timeframe I am looking at to make the data easier to find.

I spent this week gathering extra supplementary data to complement the research on the value of the Nigerian Naira in the past decade. I have gathered datasets containing information about the production and exportation of crude oil in Nigeria, census data and GDP data. With this data, I hope to come up with a solid question to start working towards next week.

This week, I am exploring the notion of using a different dataset than the one suggested in class. I am considering using a dataset that shows a time series of the exchange rate from the Nigerian Naira to the US Dollar combined with a dataset documenting government expenditure.
