Population growth and the expansion of cities together with an increase in environmental pollution from human activity create non-principled changes in vegetative cover and land use in built-up areas and agricultural land and increase the exertion of non-principled land productivity methods. In this study, the proximity to and the amount of vegetation, bare ground, built-up and water bodies were used in the analysis and modeling of the land use changes. The objectives of this study are; to examine land use/land cover classifications in Kabba/Bunu and Lokoja L.G.As for 1999, 2010 and 2021, to assess the rate of changes detected on land cover between (1999-2010), (2010-2021) and (1999-2021), to predict land use/land cover changes in the future for the study area and to predict areas liable to flood in the study area. The probability of the conversion of land use from one class to the other was used to make model using the Markov Chain Analysis (MCA).The results indicate that the North-eastern part of the study area is prone to flooding during flash flood to the low land and increased in the built-up area of the study area, there is need to be principled and cautioned to save lives and properties during flooding and to increase aesthetic value of the study area. It is necessary to implement procedures to control the change of high-grade vegetation land and built-up areas.
