That's fine.

A curiosity that I have is with respect to Nigeria. We know that the acceptance rate has gone from 40% in 2015 to 12% in 2020.

I know there's now a Nigerian student express stream, but there's also an English-language proficiency requirement for that, the IELTS test. My understanding is that Nigeria has English as its educational language, including in post-secondary institutions, so why would there be the requirement to take this test in order to take advantage of that stream?
