This question was not popular among the candidates. Many of the candidates who answered the question drew poor maps. Also some of the candidates just quoted the longitude and latitude of Nigeria without specifying the stretch as they described the location of Nigeria. The expected answers on the location of Nigeria include: Location of Nigeria between latitude 4oN and 14oN between longitude 3oE and 15oE latitudinal extent is 10o longitudinal extent is 12o bounded in the East by Cameroon bounded in the South by the Atlantic Ocean bounded in the North by Niger Republic bounded in the West by Benin Republic marks the eastern border of West Africa.
