Aerial and satellite imagery data for Nigeria

Partial open imagery Open orthophotos or high-resolution imagery exist, but only for limited areas such as regions or cities.

No national open orthophotography was identified; OpenAerialMap holds 4 openly licensed (CC BY or CC BY-SA) drone or aerial images for local areas of Nigeria. Sentinel-2 (10 m) and Landsat (30 m) provide free, openly licensed national satellite coverage.
