# 🦠Nigeria COVID-19 Early Pandemic EDA
### Exploratory Data Analysis of Nigeria's First Wave (Feb 27 – Mar 30, 2020)
---
## đź“Ś Project Overview
This project performs an Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) of Nigeria's earliest recorded COVID-19 cases, using data sourced from the **Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC)** via Kaggle.
The dataset captures the **first 33 days** of Nigeria's pandemic response — from the country's index case on February 27, 2020, through March 30, 2020. This period represents a critical window: the initial detection, spread, and early government response before national lockdown measures were introduced.
This analysis answers five core questions:
- How did COVID-19 cases grow nationally in the first 33 days?
- Which states bore the highest burden of infections and deaths?
- What were the fatality and recovery rates at this early stage?
- How did weekly case counts accelerate over time?
- How large was the gap between suspected and confirmed cases?
