The brief

Tunde wants to contextualise Meridian's performance against Nigerian macroeconomic conditions. Connect to the World Bank API to pull Nigerian CPI inflation data: https://api.worldbank.org/v2/country/NG/indicator/FP.CPI.TOTL?format=json&date=2020:2024. Add a secondary inflation line to the revenue trend chart indexed to 100 so the board can see whether revenue growth is outpacing inflation.
