Overview

This assessment highlights the effectiveness of geospatial technologies in identifying environmental risks in Nigeria, suggesting areas for improvement.

Key Points

  • The aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of geospatial technologies in environmental risk management in Nigeria.
  • Assess the performance and constraints of geospatial technologies applications.
  • Utilize multi-temporal satellite analyses for urban and environmental monitoring.
  • Review institutional frameworks and capabilities of state environmental agencies.
  • Urban built-up area in Nigeria expanded by over 150% from 1996 to 2026.
  • Forest cover declined by 7-10% in southern states.
  • Coastal areas experience shoreline retreat rates of 2-30 m per year.
  • About 20-25% of the population live in flood-prone areas.
  • Desertification advances at approximately 0.6 km annually in northern states.
