Abstract
Land use and land cover is very important for appropriate planning and budget of a community. In Jibia several activities are carried on the land without actually knowing the percentage of the land cover of features. Remote sensing and GIS technology are valuable tools in managing land use and land cover. This research described the land use and land cover coverage of the entire LGA land using Remote Sensing and GIS. Landsat Satellite imagery of 2009 of the study area was processed and classified into 5 groups namely Build up sharp sand, Farm Land trees, Vegetation shrubs, Water body and Barren land. Statistical analysis was employed to show the percentage distribution of the land. The study shows the percentage coverage of land physical feature which in turn describe the land use.
