Published on 28th January 2018

It is a privilege to be a member of lion MappersTeam-Enugu Campus because it is a platform where I can contribute to a global mapping initiative and humanitarian service that helps respond to resilient communities. It also gives me the opportunity D show my skills and talent, already acquired before gaining admission to study Geoinformatics and Surveying at the University of Nigeria, Enugu Campus. I had a life which introduced me to GIS early and I was able to produce a map at my previous school (AIFPU) showing all the natural and artificial features.

have always had a self-driven passion for GIS which is engraved in my heart

I was so excited when our Team Leader and Mentor, Victor N. Sunday, introduced Youth Mappers to us in a recent training at the University of Nigeria -Enugu Campus. I am so happy because this team gives me a training platform as well as the opportunity to map and place my community on global web map of OpenStreetMap. I would gladly volunteer my service though my chapter to contribute to this critical global geospatial database to solve the world’s special needs. I would also ensure that my friends and fellow students join this team to map our University of Nigeria, Enugu campus on the worldwide web of OSM because if a building or road is not found on a map, It does not exist

Most of us spend time and data on social media, now its time to pay more attention to mapping by contributing to the growth of this platform, because our work on this platform for 1 hour can save a generation

I want to be a GIS expert, to help people quench their curiosities and better understand the world around them. I believe GIS is a tool for solving problems. This is something I want to do for the rest of my life any given time

I want to provide a safe world using GIS where one can access any location at

Ogoniland is a major oil spill disaster vulnerable area of Nigeria,being the host communities of crude oil exploitation in the Niger Region of Nigeria.Ogoniland land consist of four local government which includes Khana Local Governemnt Area of Rivers State. Following hazardous impact and damage of ogoniland by oil Spill disaster, UNEP assessed that the environmental restoration of Ogoniland would require coordinated efforts on the part of government agencies at all levels, industry operators and communities. UNEP also presented its recommendations as a major opportunity to bring new investment, employment opportunities and a culture of cooperation to Ogoniland in addition to driving improvements in the environmental and health situation on the ground.To effectively implement the UNEP recommendations for restoration of ogoniland,there is a need for a geographic data that provides critical building footprint in the area,especially,to identify and access the vulnerable oil spill communities. Maps produced would be used by government agencies and other stakeholders working to implement UNEP report on Ogoniland restorartion.
