In Nigeria, all drones weighing between 250 grams and 25 kilograms must be registered. The drone registration can be done online. Foreign drone pilots will receive a “Recognition of Ownership“, which they have to keep with them during all drone flights. If you do not register, you risk a fine or imprisonment of up to three years.

Based on our research and interpretation of the laws, here are the most important rules to know for flying a drone in Nigeria.

  • It is unlawful to operate a drone without first seeking the required authorizations. Flight plans must be submitted to the NCAA for authorization prior to conducting each individual drone flight within Nigeria.
