Grouped bar chart
Why this chart?
Two breakdowns (category × category) — grouped bars compare them within each group side by side.
Chosen: Grouped bar chart · 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.
Both downloads carry every observation — geography, period, value, unit and source — and reconstruct the whole series.

Focus on the measure or breakdown you want, read it as a trend, the full matrix, or a tidy row-per-observation table, and download exactly the slice on screen. The chart above and this table share one selection — change a control in either and both move together.

Summary of Yearly Exports by Category, 2018-2022 · page 441 · National Bureau of Statistics
Exports by broad category. THREE MEASURES DROPPED under the spine rule, staged as raw_rows but producing no observations: "Exports" (byte-identical to T335 Exports(fob)), "Crude oil" (byte-identical to T335 Crude Oil Exports) and "% of Crude oil" (byte-identical to T335 Crude Oil /Total Exports (%)). NOTE: T335 "Non-Oils Exports" and this table's "Other 0il products" look similar but are DIFFERENT measures (1,191,970.44 vs 2,183,674.84 in 2018) - both retained. Source prints "0il" with a zero. Mixed units: values NGN million, shares PCT at series level. MIXED UNITS: dataset.unit_id is deliberately NULL because this table publishes both NGN-million values and percentage shares. The authoritative unit is on each series (NGN_M id 3 or PCT id 15). Set 2026-07-28 after QA noted a single dataset unit was false for 257 of 564 observations in this batch.

Trade by economic sector, exports and imports · The data sources for the compilations include; The Nigerian Customs Service (NCS) through the Nigeria Integrated Customs Information System (NICIS), Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), Various companies in the upstream and downstream sectors of the oil industry, Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA), Arlington Securitas Nigeria Limited, Robinson International Energies Ltd, Trobell International Nigeria Ltd, Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas Ltd (NLNG), Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Anglia International Limited, Neroli Technologies Limited, Gojopal Nigeria Limited, Nigerian Export Processing Zone Agency (NEPZA), Oil and Gas Free Zone Agency (OGFZA), Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) and Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA).
Publisher: National Bureau of Statistics. Originator/compiler: the printed Source caption names many bodies (Nigeria Customs Service through NICIS, NNPCL, NMDPRA, NLNG, CBN and others); a single source_provider_id cannot express that, so it is left unresolved with the caption verbatim rather than defaulted to NBS. This ingest is observation-grained: the extractor emitted one row per observation with a cell-level source_ref and no printed-row capture, so row_count counts staged observations, not printed rows, and no raw_rows are staged.
