Drones (UAV) in Nigeria – What No One Will Tell You

A few years ago, when I heard drones were deployed by the U.S army to some part of the world; I use to think drones were some specially trained secret agents with advanced technology. lol

Now I know better…

In 2015, the United Arab Emirate kick-started an annual international competition and award tagged “Drone for Good”.

This competition enables technology companies from all part of the world to showcase their ideas on how technologies behind civilian drones can be transformed into practical solutions to improve human lives.

As a Nigerian, you might be wondering what legal flight range means.

Well, in countries like the US, the government is working on creating laws to guide drone users; so that owners don’t invade the privacy of others.

 

How long can a drone fly?

You probably don’t know this, but drones don’t fly for as long as you might be imagining.

Those with small multi rotors fly for 10 – 15 minutes while those with bigger multi-rotors fly for 20 – 40 minutes or even 1 hour.

  • Hi Fouad.
    Are there any kind of restrictions on Multirotors in Nigeria? Do you need to get a permit? Do they need to be registered? Here in the US we have to register with the FAA. I want to send a Quad to a friend of mine and want to make sure he has everything he needs to know and have before I order it. I would hate for him to get in trouble.
    Thanks,
    Lenny

  • Iwaleye babatunde

    I know of a friend that bought and has beenflying it without a permit. So?

      • Francis edinor

        Hi fouad, a drone was sent to me from Vienna through post office on riching Ikeja customs are saying that is contraband I don’t understand can you educate me more on this?

        • Hi Francis,

          I’m sorry you couldn’t get your drone.

          What they mean is that it is a banned item and you can’t import it. If your drone is new and you have all papers ready, I don’t think you should have any problem.

          You should make further inquiry from them to know why it is contraband. Perhaps there is something more to it.

          Here’s a list of prohibited items for importation. You might get some clue.

          • I came i to check for information about selfie drone…. Bought a small one asin $40 (Uk) sent via DHL express to me…their telling me sss not clearing it asking ncc… End user certificate…. Tax clearance and more….. Even after showing my ID as a person in the field of photography that any drone are ban…… Am still shocked and they even threaten me with arrest…. What more can i do. Tnx

          • Hi Dlaw,

            There’s no cause for alarm. All they’re demanding for, in a nut shell, is clearance. You need to do some documentations before your drone is released.

            You can work on your end user certificate here: http://euc.nsa.gov.ng/bg/home

            If you’re in Lagos, you can fix the tax clearance issue here: http://www.lasg-ebs-rcm.com/ebsrcm/index-etcc.asp

            Otherwise, visit the FIRS office in your location.

            I believe you’ll be cleared when you get the documents they requested. It’s tedious but it’s worth it.

            Goodluck!

  • Will I be able to fly my drone for my leisure in rural areas of Nigeria like my village? It has some local networks like AIRTEL, MTN AND GLO in some ranges.

    • Hi Samp,

      I don’t think you should have a problem flying your drone in any rural area in Nigeria. I don’t know of any stipulated law that is against it. As long as your community leaders don’t ban you, you should enjoy your flight all day long.

  • How can one successfully import a drone? Do the local sellers have licenses?

    • Buy from a reliable seller and ship it to Nigeria. What license are you talking about?

  • Sonia

    I bought a drone from the states unfortunately I left before it was delivered so the company shipped it. On getting to lagos it was confiscated by custom..I want to use it for agriculture..what must I do.

    • Hi Sonia,

      Sorry to hear that your drone was confiscated. My friend who had a similar experience had to go to the SSS office at the airport in Lagos to sign some documents before his drone was released. I guess you just need some clearance to retrieve it. Hope this helps.

      • Please, can you refer me to your friend? Seems mine too is stuck at customs. It’s over 1 week since it arrived in Nigeria. Please, it’s urgent. Thank you

  • Thanks on your response to me, i was just really shaken by the so called sss at the DHL office at naco when i was be treated like a criminal for buying a $40 gadget that might help my work (photography /technology) have seen the links you gave me and downloaded the Euc guildlines but why DHL agree to accept the item at the point of posting still pussle me . This our Nigerian way with power eeh.

  • Hi Fouad

    Great Post. Please could you tell people the dangers of importing their drones and getting them stuck at the customs point co DHL will never warn you that there is a possibility of the item getting Sized at destination clearance point.

    I cant understand why DHL will not warn the buyers and ask for an End user certificate prior to accepting to Ship it. Disgraceful and shameful
