About GeoNaija

GeoNaija is an interactive platform for exploring Nigeria's 36 states and the FCT — governance, natural resources, tourism, agriculture, and investment data, built for investors, researchers, students, government agencies, and anyone curious about the country.

Our approach to accuracy

Every fact on this site — governors, population figures, resources, history — is individually researched and verified, not generated from assumption. Our state boundaries come from geoBoundaries.org, an open academic dataset, and our base map from OpenStreetMap.

Where we are

We're building this state by state, zone by zone, rather than rushing incomplete data live. Check the States page to see current progress — every state not yet profiled says so honestly, rather than showing placeholder or guessed information.

Independence

GeoNaija is an independent platform, not an official Nigerian government website.
