Hello, Titus. Thank you for the post. I took a look at the GPS data for both the 2015 and 2021 MIS in Nigeria. When you refer to the Admin 2, are you referring to the 774 LGAs? If so, neither GPS file contains the LGA names.

Both GPS files contain the names of the 37 states of Nigeria as well as 6 regions which are groups of states. These names are stored in the ADM1NAME and DHSREGNA variables respectively.

If you want the LGA names for each cluster, I recommend using a spatial join in ArcGIS to join the LGA names from an LGA shapefile. If this doesn't answer your question or if you have follow-up questions, please let me know in the discussion thread below. I hope this helps!
