3.1 Geographical location, relief, climate, soils and Vegetation of Nigeria. The Federal Republic of Nigeria (henceforth referred to as Nigeria), is located on the West coast of Africa between latitudes 3°15’ to 13°30’ N and longitudes 2°59’ to 15°00’ E (Figure 1).
The variations in the Nigerian climate are mostly governed by the influence of three major atmospheric phenomena, namely: the maritime tropical (mT) air mass, the continental tropical (cT) air mass, and, the equatorial easterlies (Ojo, 1977).
