## Project Overview
---
This project analyzes infectious disease trends in Nigeria from 2009 to 2018 using SQL for data cleaning and Power BI for visualization. It explores disease prevalence, mortality rates, gender-based distribution, urban vs. rural impact, and state-wise case trends.
### Data Sources
---
Infectious Diseases Data: The primary dataset used for this analysis is the "meningitis_clean" file
### Tools
---
- SQL - Data cleaning
- Power bi - for visualization
### Data Cleaning/Preparation
---
In the initial data preparation phase, we performed the following tasks:
1. Data loading and inspection.
2. Handling missing values.
3. Data cleaningand formatting.
### Exploratory Data Analysis
---
EDA involved exploring the infectious diseases data to answer key questions, such as:
- What are the most prevalent infectious diseases in Nigeria (2009-2018)?
- How does disease distribution compare between rural and urban areas?
- What is the overall mortality rate?
- How have disease cases fluctuated over the years?
- Which states reported the highest number of cases?
- How does the number of total cases compare to death cases by gender?
- How do disease cases vary by gender?
### Data Analysis
