The world over time had faced serious challenges of food shortage and non availability of good quality water. This had led to premature death due to malnutrition and cholera outbreak. Also improper choice of soil type has led to collapsed of built structures resulting from foundation failure. Soil is also regarded as the 'skin of the earth" an interface with its lithosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere. It consists of solid phase (minerals and matter) and porous phase that contain gasses and water. Soil is the end products caused by the influence of climate, relief, organisms and parent materials interacting for a period of time. The methodology was carefully shown with a detailed flowchart that is explicit. The results from the studies show that remote sensing and GIS can be used to develop a digital soil map for the study area. The used of Landsat 7 ETM+ and SRTM of 2013, existing soil map and the existing survey data were used to perform remote sensing and GIS operation. E...
