The Country at a glance Nigeria has a total land area of 923,770Km 2 , administratively structured into 36 states plus a Federal Capital Territory. Distribution of the 140 million people has far reaching implications for the utilization of forest resources. Nigeria is a physically and cl imatically diverse country that is endowed with substantial natural resources. It encompasses three major ecological regions, a humid forest region, a subhumid region with highland, and a semi-arid region. There are nine distinct ecolog ical zones which can be streamlined into five, namely (i) sahel/sudan savanna, (ii) guinea savanna, (iii) derived savanna, (iv) lowland rainforest/montane forest and (v) freshwater swamp forest/mangrove forest and coa stal vegetation.
