dc.description.abstractThe capabilities provided by satellite imagery, digital maps, and associated information have transformed our ability to understand the forces that shape the geographical space. In Nigeria, as a developing nation, there is a lack of strong traditions in cartography and mapping. These technologies (referred collectively in this paper as "geoinformation technologies") have proven essential for developing public policies on issues such as deforestation assessment and management, urban planning, agricultural production and environmental assessment. The author found out that geoinformation technology in developing nations like Nigeria is yet unrealised. Given this scenario, the author identifies the major impediments to the growth of geoinformation technology in Nigeria and indicates some ways in which these impediments can be reduced.
