    This document describes several map projection and coordinate systems used in Nigeria, including the UTM projection zones 31N, 32N and 33N based on the Clark 1880 ellipsoid, and the Local Traverse Marcator projection system which uses three belt transverse mercator projections based on the Clark 1880 ellipsoid. It also provides the ellipsoid parameters for the WGS 84 and Clark 1880 datums, and datum shift parameters to convert between the WGS 84 and Clark 1880 datums.

    Original Description:

    This supports WGS84,UTM and NTM
