Data quality

Evidence and limitations

A visible account of what supports this pilot and what still prevents it from being authoritative.

Source authority

  • Tier 1: competent election bodies, government MDAs, regulators, legislatures and official budget records.
  • Tier 2: structured discovery sources such as Citizen Science Nigeria, retained only as leads unless officially corroborated.
  • Tier 3: maps and directories used for discovery, never as sole proof of authority, operation or boundary inclusion.

Current limitations

  • No accepted digital Okota ward polygon.
  • No reviewed Okota-to-state or federal constituency mapping.
  • 16 ledger records require field verification and 8 remain unresolved.
  • No project schedule attributes the seven budget lines to an Okota site.

Verification method

Officeholders require a current authoritative office record and an accepted geographic relationship to Okota. Citizen Science and directories were not treated as proof of current office. Each omitted value is accompanied by its evidence limitation and resolving authority.

Each public module exposes a publisher or source URL and its checked date. The full conflict log and accepted-use decisions are documented in the source audit.
