The headline 0.0% change hides more than it shows. This series moves around a lot before landing close to where it started — a flat net number does not mean a flat decade.
Nigeria's number here, like most in this category, is built from a mix of direct measurement and statistical modeling — reliable for tracking direction, less reliable for pinning down an exact year-to-year figure.
There's a real gap between 2019 and 2023 in the underlying data — not a zero, not an interpolated value, just missing. Don't read a straight line between those two points as what actually happened in between.
At these volumes, this trade flow often comes down to a handful of shipments or trading partners. A big single-year swing is more likely one contract or one buyer's order than a broad economic trend.
