PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS
   Physical and Natural Environment
   Vegetation

The Municipal comes under the Interior Wooded Savannah or Tree Savannah.  However, owing to its transitional nature, the area does not totally exhibit typical savannah conditions.  Thus the savannah here is heavily wooded, though most of the trees are not as tall and gigantic as those in most deciduous forest. It is believed that the transitional zone was once forested and that the savannah conditions currently prevailing have been the result of man’s activities.  The existence of “fringe forest” found along the banks of major rivers and streams and other areas where the impact of man’s activities are minimal.

   Soils

The Municipality has very good and fertile soil(loamy, sandy and clay). This aid Agriclultural production in the area.Most of the siols technically can be classiiefd as savannah ochrosols, tropical brown earth and terrace soils. The savannah ochrosols are generally poor in organic matter and nutrient because of the absence of dense vegetation caused by activities of floaters(hunters) bush burning, overgrazing and poor farming practices.
