Why this chart?

38 breakdowns over 51 periods — too many for one readable chart, so each gets its own small panel on the same scale.

Chosen: Small multiples · auto-selected from the data profile.

Figures are in nominal naira — the amounts as reported for each period, not adjusted for inflation. Over a multi-year span, part of any increase reflects rising prices rather than real growth.
