Thank you for your response Bridgette. The do file you provided says I should use v023 for 2003 and v022 for 2008, 2013 and 2018. However, for 2013 and 2018, v022 is not the same as combining v024 and v025( i.e region and rural/urban residence), but rather it is the combination of v024, sstate and v025 ( i.e region, state and rural/urban residence).

Also, for 2013, I noticed that there are 73 strata instead of 74 since we have 37 states (including the capital territory)in Nigeria, so merging it with v025 should ordinarily result in 74 strata as in 2018.

So I'm a bit confused as to whether to use the v023(for 2003) and v022( for 2008, 2013 and 2018) that way.
