Nigeria - Administrative Boundaries (levels 0 - 3) and senatorial districts

The dataset represents the Common Operational Data (COD) for administrative boundaries of Nigeria. Each administrative unit contains the p-code and name. Admin COD datasets (Admin 0 – 2) for Nigeria are endorsed by the Office of the Surveyor General of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (OSGOF) and the IMWG Feb 2017. See metadata for description of methodology for admin level 3 and the cleaning and processing performed by ITOS. Levels 0 - 3 are polygonal administrative units, Level 3 only covers Adamawa, Borno and Yobe States and are for operational purposes only.

A senatorial district shapefile is also included. Senatorial districts respect administrative level 1 (state) but are not reflected in the gazetteer, geodatabase, or live services.

The administrative level 0-2 and senatorial district boundaries are suitable for database or GIS linkage to the Nigeria 2016 Population Data tables.
