World-class civic infrastructure visibility
For developers, researchers, contributors, and the public.
See Nigeria's public infrastructure as a living system, not a spreadsheet.
OpenGrid turns scattered facility records into a civic data surface that feels legible, modern, and consequential. Explore what exists, spot what is missing, and contribute what your community knows.
Coverage100% of states represented
Open accessNo auth. JSON API. Community-powered.
What OpenGrid makes possible
Built to impress technical users without alienating everyone else.
A clear, navigable picture of schools, clinics, markets, and the places that still need visibility.
Open pathways to add local knowledge and make the national dataset more complete with every submission.
One open index for public infrastructure across all 36 states and the FCT.
OpenGrid is designed to feel less like a directory dump and more like a civic lens: coverage where it exists, gaps where they remain, and a contribution path when the data falls short of reality.

Open contribution loop
Seeded from Grid3. Strengthened by local knowledge.
The dataset begins with established public records and gets better when contributors add what only communities can see on the ground.

Coverage should feel visible, not buried in tables.
Maps, summaries, and state-by-state focus views make it easier to understand where the data is strong and where the country still needs better visibility.
