A good understanding (If the structure and mode of evolution of the continental margin of Nigeria is crucial for many reasons. In terms of hydrocarbon accumulation, the area is of high economic importance as demonstrated by the high level of exploration activities that has been maintained in the area especially in the last three decades. The fishing industry would also benefit from a proper understanding of the bathymetry and morphology of the margin. Nigeria's scientific institutions have yet to embark on a systematic mapping of the detailed structure of the country's margin. Existing data on the evolution and structure of the margin are largely due to the results of surveys of a regional nature conducted by several international organizations.
