Nigerian Politically Exposed Persons data by Chipper

JSON

National and sub-national Nigerian Politically Exposed Persons collected by Chipper

This is a vast dataset of politically exposed persons in Nigeria collected by Chipper to support their risk management practices.

It is not considered to be comprehensive, but significantly augments PEP identification data already available on the market.

Nigeria follows the "Once a PEP, always a PEP" duration practice, meaning people may remain in this dataset longer than for data sourced for other jurisdictions.
