About
Nigeria, by the numbers.
Figures.ng exists because Nigerian economic data is public — but not readable. We fix that.
What we do
Nigerian public institutions publish detailed reports on the economy every month — inflation, fuel prices, food prices, GDP, labour market data, reserves, poverty rates, and more. These releases are official, useful, and freely available.
The problem: most Nigerians never see them. The PDFs are dense. The tables are hard to read. The numbers need context to mean anything.
Figures.ng takes those reports and turns them into clean pages — charts, state-by-state breakdowns, plain-English analysis, and honest context. Nothing is invented. Nothing is editorialised beyond what the data supports. Every number traces back to an official public source.
Our principles
Official sources only
Every data point on Figures.ng comes from official publications by Nigerian public institutions such as NBS and CBN. We do not use estimates, projections from private firms, or unofficial figures. If an official public source has not published it, we do not publish it.
True to the source material
We do not round, adjust, or reframe numbers to make a story more dramatic. If a number is surprising, it is because the data is surprising — not because we shaped it.
Free, forever
Nigerian economic data belongs to Nigerians. There are no paywalls, no subscriptions, no registration required. Every page on this site is free to read, share, and use.
Plain English
We write for Nigerians — not economists. Every insight is written to be understood by anyone, regardless of their background in economics or statistics.
