dc.description.abstractThe provision of various categories of Land Use Maps is fundamental to the planning and physical development of any area worldwide. The recent spate of wetland area development in different parts of Nigeria due to pressure on land without maps for planning is very dangerous and objectionable. This paper highlights the need for an urgent Governmental Policy to embark on the scientific production of maps for planning. Geo-scientific maps, such as Engineering Geological, Geotechnical, Remote Sensing and Seismic monitoring Maps of Coastal and wetland areas in particular, are urgently required for reasonable and economical planning. Some of the dangers inherent in the non availability of these maps are highlighted, with examples from the mega city of Lagos.en_US
