I am looking for confirmation on which strata variables I should use for Nigeria 2003, 2008, 2013, and 2018 data. I am not sure how one infers appendix A from the final reports to decide which strata variable to use...

The following post says hv023xhv025 should be used for 2008 stratification:https://userforum.dhsprogram.com/index.php?t= tree&goto=22563&&srch=nigeria+strata#page_top
but I do not see hv023 or hv025 in the 2008 data.

Any information to confirm/explain which strata variables I should use in the svyset command for 2003, 2008, 2013, and 2018 women's data from Nigeria would be most helpful.
