Dear MBruederle,

You are correct, GPS data are not available for the Nigeria 1999 DHS. It is not possible to decode the Local Government Area variable in the recode files because the labels have been suppressed, and the codes are not unique. Please refer to the following thread for a complete description of why the administrative 2 (usually called District) labels are not included in the recode files http://userforum.dhsprogram.com/index.php?t=msg&th=70&am p;am p;start=0&S=f6973d3ddf7a7946892d11b70739bcae.

The Nigeria 1999 data files do include the "shstate" variable, which lists the state classification for each record.

Please respond if this has not adequately answered your question.
