COVID19 data scrapping from Nigerian Centre for Disease Control (NCDC)

Introduction On the advent of COVID-19 globally and since February 29, 2020 in Nigeria, motivations to provide visuals of the trends and to provide guide to Nigerians on how to conduct themselves responsibly was boosted by the publication of the first coronavirus package and the awesome animation of the province level by Krispin and Byrnes 2020. That immediately sent me working on how to animate the cases for Nigeria. However, this desire was met with short comings because the data publish at the Johns Hopkins University Center for Systems Science and Engineering (JHU-CCSE) by the Nigerian Centre for Disease Control is agrregated nationally, whereas the animations that motivated me were regional for Australia.
