Dear Ben,

Thanks for your inquiry. I would recommend reading through a similar thread that address why administrative labels below the DHS regions level aren't included in the recode files: http://userforum.dhsprogram.com/index.php?t=msg&th=70&am p;start=0&S=f6973d3ddf7a7946892d11b70739bcae

For Nigeria surveys, you may use the GPS datasets in GIS software to spatially join the LGA names to the displaced GPS clusters. For additional information on the GPS displacement procedure, or how to account for it in your analysis, please refer to the two most recent reports in The DHS Program Spatial Analysis series:
- Geographic Displacement Procedure and Georeferenced Data Release Policy for the Demographic and Health Surveys http://dhsprogram.com/publications/publication-SAR7-Spatial- Analysis-Reports.cfm
- Guidelines on the Use of DHS GPS Data http://dhsprogram.com/publications/publication-SAR8-Spatial- Analysis-Reports.cfm

Please respond if this has not adequately answered your question.
