Nigeria Map with the 36 States

Nigeria's land mass is slightly more than twice that of California or 923,768 sq km. The country shares borders with Niger in the north, Benin and Cameroon in the east and west respectively. The terrain is composed of southern lowlands, central hills and plateaus with mountains in the southeast and plains in north. The climate is equatorial in the south, tropical in center and arid in north. So the further north you go the drier it becomes.

Nigerian roads are the most important means of transportation in the country, carrying 80% of the population and goods. There are 60,068 km of paved roads, which follow a grid system of North <-> South, West <-> East. However, poor maintenance has seen some of these roads in poor condition and in the large cities traffic can be a major problem.
