首个面向非洲工业机械的低资源数据集，含真实来源的设备运行与故障记录。

There is relatively little, public, and model-ready data on industrial machinery for African economies. This makes it hard to do quantitative analysis or to train language models on numeric tasks grounded in that setting. We release two things to help with part of this problem. The first is the Nigeria Machinery Usage and Failures Dataset: 89 machine-level records across 28 indicators, covering Nigeria's manufacturing and oil and gas sectors from 2006 to 2025. Every record names a public source and is decoded by a codebook. The second is a method for building chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning examples from these sparse numeric values. The result is 94 prompt, completion, and reasoning-trace rows. In every row, the prompt names the real indicator, subsector, year, and source of the record it comes from. The data adaptation work was carried out by Adaption Labs. Along the way we describe a problem that is common when language models are used to build datasets. The prompts can match the real numbers while saying nothing about the real domain. We show that fixing this raises the share of domain-grounded prompts from 1 out of 78 in an earlier release to 94 out of 94, and that every retrieval answer now matches its source value (84 out of 84). We release the data, the reasoning layer, and a per-row provenance file under CC-BY-4.0. We are clear about the limits. With 89 records and 17 indicators that have only one observation, this is a reference and seed dataset, not a large training set. Most reasoning rows are retrieval rather than multi-step computation.
