Nigeria infrastructure, explained
A read-only public window into Nigeria’s infrastructure signals.
Infrastructure.civic.ng starts with verified Data Civic feeds, then turns those records into a public product that stays plain about what is known, what is missing, and where every number came from.
Power and telecom records are liveRoads and water stay planned until records are verifiedNo ingestion or storage duplicated here

Product thesis
The app explains infrastructure by keeping the public contract narrow.
This MVP only consumes Data Civic APIs. It does not create a second registry, a second database, or a second ingestion pipeline. If power or telecom records exist upstream, the page renders them. If road or water records do not exist yet, the page says so plainly and keeps provenance visible.
