TL;DR: To bypass the present flood modelling challenges within the context of the DCs, extensive calibration of state-of-the-art flood models is of significance and researchers within theDCs should be fascinated by the prospect of developing bespoke flood models based on simple mathematical formulations which are easy to parameterise using global, open source and freely- accessible datasets.

TL;DR: This study motivates the Standard Organisation of Nigeria (SON), along with other food and agricultural agencies, to intensify their efforts in monitoring and analysing food components, and advises consumers to eat with certain degrees of caveat.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors have reviewed flood risk within the Lagos area of Nigeria over the period 1968-2012 and found that the efforts of stakeholders to address the challenges appear to have been limited by, amongst other things, a lack of reliable data, lack of awareness amongst the population affected, and lack of knowledge of flood risk mitigation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a novel flood model, which combines the full functionality of cellular automata (CA) framework with a semi-implicit finite difference numerical scheme (SIFDS), whilst the resulting algorithms were programmed within MATLAB TM programming platform.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a digital soil map for Nigeria, and other thematic maps based on soil properties, using geographic information system (GIS) technology, and the results tend to support the assumption that significant prospects are held by digital soil mapping in enhancing the knowledge of soil and its provision for a range of human activities.
