As part of the 1986 Structural Adjustment Programme, the Babangida government abolished Nigeria's six commodity boards (cocoa, groundnut, palm produce, cotton, rubber, grains) that had monopolised procurement and exports of agricultural commodities since the colonial Marketing Boards era. The abolition decree liberalised internal trade and external sales, ended pan-territorial pricing, and passed prevailing world prices through to farmers via a competitive private export trade.
Per invariant 3, reforms are scored by what they did on each channel-separated axis, not by the party that enacted them. This fingerprint is how the policy-match engine finds historical analogues.
Explicit links are curated by the author. Inferred links are hypotheses in the library that test the same axes this policy moved — the framework's answer to "what does the data say about a policy like this?".
Ranked by axis-fingerprint overlap with this policy. Direction match bolded — those are the closest historical analogues. Shape of the match is what drives policy-outcome comparison, not the country or party label.
