Why this chart?
Two breakdowns (category × category) across a small, labelled 2-row grid — each row is shaded on its own scale so the pattern reads honestly.
Chosen: Heatmap · 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.
