    Sampling

    Sampling Procedure

    The NCS1 covered all the nine provinces of Nigeria, both rural and urban areas on a sample basis. The sampling frame consisted of 4,193 Census Supervisory Areas (CSA) and 12,999 Standard Enumeration Areas (SEA). It was obtained from the 1990 Census of Population and Housing. The computer package Quattro Pro was used to sort the data by rural/urban, by centrality and by low cost, medium cost and high cost to form strata. Overall the frame gave information on the population size of each SEA throughout the country, the number of households, information about rural/urban, centrality as described in Appendix II, stratum number, and the number of SEAs to be selected from each stratum. A sample of 610 SEA's was selected. Only one SEA was selected from each CSA (262 SEA's were selected from the urban stratum and 348 from the rural stratum).
