Executive Master of Geographic Information System (GIS)

info Background

In the last three or four decades, issues relating to land and environmental resources management for sustainable development have globally attracted a lot of interest. Geographic Information System (GIS) and Remote Sensing techniques offer a way out for timely environmental monitoring and rational decision-making at various levels and in all areas of life. The knowledge of the geography of a country (or a state), which is normally produced in map form, is essential to government in order to provide services effectively and efficiently; it is also needed to attract investment because knowing ‘where’ is ‘what’, leads to rational decision making and development.

However, because of its specialty and relative newness, there is still a dearth of professionals who can provide GIS services in Nigeria and in other parts of Africa. Because of rapid advances in technology leading to new innovations, organisations must re-train their staff regularly. This Executive Master of GIS programme is intended to help rectify the problem, enabling graduates to fill existing gaps in public places or set up independent consultancy units to tap the vastly expanding GIS markets.
