The Council on Foreign Relations' Nigeria Security Tracker is an effort to catalogue and map political violence based on a weekly survey of Nigerian and international press. The data presented include violent incidents related to political, economic, and social grievances directed at the state or other affiliated groups (or, conversely, the state employing violence to respond to those incidents.)

Published by the National Bureau of Statistics, the Quarterly Foreign Trade in Goods Statistics reports provide detailed information on the country's agricultural exports. 

WHO’s Global Health Estimates provide the latest available data on causes of death and disability globally, by WHO region and country, by age, sex and by income group. 

These estimates are produced using data from multiple sources, including national vital registration data, latest estimates from WHO technical programmes, United Nations partners and inter-agency groups, the Global Burden of Disease and other scientific studies. Before publishing, the GHE are reviewed by WHO Member States via consultation with national focal points and WHO country and regional offices.
