Understanding land use and land cover (LULC) classification is critical for addressing environmental and human needs, particularly in developing countries. Nigeria is a developing country experiencing rapid population growth and economic development leading to increased LULC changes. While many studies have been done on LULC changes, there is a need for a comprehensive review of existing knowledge and limitations of LULC analyses in Nigeria. Hence, using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses method, this review paper presents a systematic review of LULC analyses in Nigeria by examining the adopted remote sensing data, pre-classified global and regional LULC maps, and classification and validation methods. This paper draws attention to the significant growth in LULC studies and highlights a need for awareness and access to existing and readily available LULC data. This review provides a broad overview of LULC data, classification methods, focus, scale, and constraints associated with LULC analysis in Nigeria. Also, it provides probable solutions to the challenges and GEE-based LULC classification scripts. There is a need to create and prioritize a national LULC data repository to ensure sustainable land monitoring and management in Nigeria. This will facilitate the spatial and temporal assessment of LULC at different scales and regions. High-resolution imagery and advanced classification methods such as deep learning need to be adopted to ensure accurate land cover analysis at different scales. Also, increased awareness programs, collaboration, and capacity-building initiatives will be beneficial to addressing current and emerging challenges related to LULC studies in Nigeria.

Ecosystem modification is increasing in scale and presents the need to provide suitable conservation strategies to address dearth in policy guidelines. This work elucidated the dynamics of land use change, prevalent forest use and policy, and conservation strategy. Geometrically rectified satellite imagery data were processed for 40 years; covering three epochs. Questionnaires were distributed across four locations: 50 questionnaires per location. Results of land use change showed that vegetation cover changed from 11666.6 ha to 6067.2 ha; bare surface: 2833.8 to 1831.4 ha; built up: 1084.4 to 6378.1 ha; farmland: 81.1 to 1407.5 ha and water body: 25.5 to 5.9 ha. Built up area had much land use change gains while vegetation cover recorded much loss. Results showed that individual ownership of forest areas dominated the area. As much as 83% are not aware of rules guiding forest use, details are neither known to a vast majority (88%), nor were the people's interests considered when making such rules (up to 84%). Principal component analysis showed strategies for promoting conservation: Making and enforcing laws ensuring forest loss reduction, regulation of forest resource use and awareness on the implications of overharvesting, establishing small reserves, planting new forests and inclusion of local people in management.
