This table provides metadata for the actual indicator available from Nigeria statistics closest to the corresponding global SDG indicator. Please note that even when the global SDG indicator is fully available from Nigerian statistics, this table should be consulted for information on national methodology and other Nigerian-specific metadata information.

Definition and concepts	Primary energy intensity is obtained by dividing total primary energy supply over gross domestic product. Total primary energy supply, as defined by the IEA, is made up of production plus net imports minus international marine and eviation bunkers plus-stock changes.
