[Oer-community] A good example of the value of visualising global data

[Wayne Mackintosh]

Dear Adeosun,

I suggest you contact the Unesco Institute for Statistics concerning the
missing data for Nigeria in the map.

Perhaps Unesco Institute does not have information available from the data
returns from Nigeria?  Best to contact this Institute directly to establish
the reason and if you are able to assist in getting the information.

Wayne
