On the last few weeks, mapping activity around Lagos City, where I map a lot, from POI’s, street names, and buildings, have been increasing. And while I added many POI’s and street names (mostly the very familiar ones) withing the city, there is a lot still missing, that locals are working on. One of the active local user and contributor in Lagos that started mapping activity withing Lagos city is:

Looking at the edit history, almost all are mapping withing Lagos City, and they are local edits. The increased mapping activity in Lagos is good news that locals there are inspired to map, thanks to all the efforts to put Nigeria on the map. Looking at the mapping activity Project at Ibadan City, the active response from the last weekend mapping party facilitated by “lagosmapper” is a great one. Obviously, the number of OSM contributors mapping Nigeria may increase from this update.
