Sampling

Sampling Procedure

The survey covered all the thirty-six states of the federation and FCT, Abuja. Both Urban and Rural areas were covered in each state. Three Local Government Areas (LGAs) were selected in each state as well as FCT, Abuja. One LGA was selected from the senatorial districts where the state capital is located. The other two LGAs were selected from the remaining senatorial districts. The selection of the 2 LGAs was based on remoteness from the state capital or on ecological factors e.g upland or riverine areas of the state. Ten Enumeration Areas (EAs) were selected per LGA making a total of 30 EAs per state. In each EA 20 households were covered. Thus, at national level, a total of 1,110 EAs and 22,200 households were covered.

The sample size from the State to the household level was as follows;

3 Senatorial Districts/ LGAs were selected in each State plus the FCT, Abuja.
110 LGAs were selected nationwide
10 EAs were selected from each LGA
1110 EAs were selected nationwide
20 Households were scientifically selected from each EA.
600 Households were scientifically selected from each State plus the FCT, Abuja.
22,200 Households were scientifically selected nationwide.
Out of 20 persons interviewed in an EA, 8 persons were male headed/Adult households, 7 persons were female headed/Adult households and 5-unmarried youth (18-24years). The breakdown of the youths respondents were 2 males and 3 females.

At EA level, 1094 EAs were studied out of 1, 110 EAs expected to be covered
Out of 22,200 Households expected to be covered ,21,808 were actualy canvassed

Deviations from the Sample Design

No Deviation

Response Rate

On a national basis the survey achieved a response rate of 98.56 percent at EA level and
at household level the response rate was 98.23 percent.

Weighting

The formula adopted in calculating the design weights for the survey data (sample results) were as follows:

(i) The probability of selecting an EA within a state was obtained by dividing the total number of EAs sampled in a
state by total number of EAs in that particular state. Let this be represented by fj. That is,
fj = (Total Number of EAs sampled in a state)/(Total Number of EAs in that particular State)

(ii) Likewise, the probability of selecting an housing unit (HU) within an EA was obtained by dividing the total number
of housing units selected in an EA by the total number of housing units (HUs) listed in that particular EA. Let this be
represented by fk. That is,
fk = (Total Number of HUs selected in an EA)/(Total Number of HUs listed in that particular EA)

Then the product (fj) x (fk) represented by f is the sampling fraction for each of the corresponding study unit (Enumeration Area) for all the 1,110 EAs canvassed throughout the 36 states of the Federation and FCT, Abuja. The inverse of the sampling fraction is known as the design weight and was applied accordingly to all the study units.

Mathematically,
Design weight = ((Total number of EAs in a state)/(Total number of EAs sampled in that particular state)) X ((Total Number of HUs listed in an EA)/(Total Number of HUs selected in that particular EA))

The above value was obtained for each of the 1,110 EAs canvassed throughout the 36 states of the Federation and FCT, Abuja. Thereafter, adjustment factors were applied to adjust for the non-responses.

Methodology notes

The data entry was done manually at two zone. The total of sixty desktop computers where used for the entry.The data entry screen was developed in Cspro. Ten operators per Zone were use making the total of sixty operator and six supervisor.
At the HQ about six computer programer where used to merged the data together and generate the table needed. The data was processed EA by EA each EA being processed as a complete unit through each stages of data processing. The EAs goes through the following steps:

Questionnaire reception
Office editing and coding
Data entry
Completeness checking
Verification entry
Back up of raw data
Data editing
Back up of edited data
Then all the EAs are processed, all the data were concatenated together and then the following steps are completed for all data files;
Merging the data
Export to SPSS in 2 files (APRMHH - household, APRMIN-Individual)
Recording of variables needed for analysis
Adding of sample weights
Structural checking of SPSS files
Data quality tabulations
Production of analysis tabulations
After completion of all processing in CSPro, all individual EAs files were backed up before concatenating data together using the files concatenated utility.
For tabulation and analysis SPSS versions 13.0 was used.
Details of each these steps can be found in the data processing documentation, data editing guidelines, data processing programs in CSPro and SPSS and tabulation guidelines.

Supervision

A roving team of 12 interviewers and 3 supervisors per state were used.
A supervisor supervises 2 teams comprising of four enumerators.
3 LGAs were canvassed for per state.
5 Housing Units/Households/persons would be covered by an interviewer in each EA. Training of interviewers and supervisors carried out by competent Headquarters' senior staff. Close supervision in the field by state officers, zonal controllers and monitoring officers from the Headquarters.
After 5 days of data collection, 6 monitoring officers from the Headquarters would visit the 6 zonal officers.
To monitor and quality check the available records.
To bring the completed records to Abuja Headquarters.
Also monitoring the data collection are staff of APRM and NOA.

Data Collection Notes

The pretest survey was designed and actually covered six States of the federation, with one State from each of the six geo-political zones. Specifically, the States selected were Plateau (North Central), Borno (North East), Kaduna (North West), Enugu (South East), Cross River (South South) and Oyo (South West). The sample size was small. Only one LGA was selected in each of the six States that fell into the sample. With the sample design explained above, only 20 households were canvassed for information in each selected State/LGA and 120 households nationwide.
In the process of collecting the data, two teams of two Enumerators and a Supervisor formed a roving team that covered each LGA. A team worked in each sector. Other personnel that participated in the pretest were the Training Officers from the headquarters, the State Officer and the Zonal Controller. The pretest was monitored by APRM Thematic Coordinators.
At the end of the pretest, it was evident that some of the questions had to be reframed and some technical terms broken down into simpler language for easy understanding and interpretation. The questionnaire itself took an average of three and half to four hours to administer. The MHS questionnaire was found out to be very bulky and it was like conducting four (4) surveys in one because all the four Thematic Areas were contained in one questionnaire. NBS technical staffs were mandated to review the questionnaire along with APRM Thematic Coordinators who provided the needed technical support before embarking on the main survey.

Main Survey
The Mass Household Survey covered all the 36 States of the Federation and the F.C.T, Abuja. As explained above in the survey design, 3 LGAs/ 30 EAs were selected in each State. Six hundred (600) households were canvassed for information in each State plus the F.C.T, Abuja with 200 households per LGA. Twelve (12) Interviewers/Enumerators of six roving teams with three (3) Supervisors worked in each State and the F.C.T, Abuja. A supervisor covered two teams of four Interviewers/Enumerators. On the whole, four hundred and forty four (444) Interviewers/ Enumerators plus one hundred and eleven (111) Supervisors were engaged for the field exercise nationwide. Each team covered five (5) EAs and the data collection was completed in twelve (12) days.
The Mass Household Survey was closely monitored by APRM Team of Monitors led by the National Coordinator of APRM, National Orientation Agency (NOA) in all the thirty (36) States plus the F.C.T; Abuja and NBS team of monitors. NOA came in at the instance of APRM. The Senior Staff of NBS comprising Headquarters Staff, Zonal Coordinators, State Officers and Principals of NBS Training Schools formed the internal supervisory and monitoring team.

Data processing

Data Editing

The collected data will first be checked manually by a team of editors at the Zone. The same team of editors will do the coding before entry to ensure that all entries are accurate, consistent and the questionnaire is ready for processing .A data entry screen was developed using Cspro software. This data management software have in-built range checks that format and correct skip or filter errors at the point of entry. The data were merged at the HQ where structural checking of SPSS were done on the data set before generating tables.
The massiveness of the questionnaire and the size of the sample (22,200) informed NBS to resolve into taking the following decisions:
i. Hiring of additional external hands.
ii. Putting trained personnel on 60 computers to do data entry at the headquarters and two zones Kaduna and Ibadan.
iii. Co-opting members of staff from other Departments/ Units like Censuses and Surveys, Corporate Planning and Technical Coordination, Field Services and Methodology, and Prices unit to join hands with the staff of Computer Management and Information Services for the data entry.
iv. Carrying questionnaires of 10 States each to Zonal Offices at Kaduna, Ibadan and HQ for data entry.
The data entry did not end until 6th November 2006.

All the grouping and the list of staff are provided as external resources.
