The National Bureau of Statistics says it will release Gross Domestic Product data for all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory by July this year. Statistician-General of the Federation, Prince Adeyemi Adeniran, made the announcement at a statistics meeting in Katsina State.
He said the initiative aims to help states better understand their economic size and potential. The data will support sub-national policy planning, attract investment, and guide development programmes.
