In Nigeria, the basement complex and the sedimentary basins house many thermal springs which are physical manifestations of geothermal energy. However, there are difficulties in accessing the sustainability of these resources due to ethical and security issues as well as limited data in Nigeria. Thus, identifying the precise location, temperature, and energy potential on a large scale has been a major drawback.
