African countries including Nigeria are clamouring for the implementation and deployment of IOT devices to ease the difficulties individuals face in performing their various tasks. Due to the fact that the African region depends hugely on agriculture, this paper focuses on IOT for smart agriculture. This paper first defines the basic concepts where IOT could benefit agriculture in Nigeria and Africa. Furthermore, it reviews the areas where IOT can be applied to agriculture. The benefits of IOT in agriculture to Nigeria and Africa are discussed. Lastly, conclusion and lessons learnt from the review are presented.** - **Page(s): 07-13** - **Date of Publication: 07 March 2021** - **Aamo Iorliam**Department of Mathematics & Computer Science, Benue State University, Makurdi - **Iveren Blessing Iorliam**Centre for Food Technology and Research (CEFTER), Benue State University, Makurdi - **Sylvester Bum** Department of Mathematics & Computer Science, Benue State University, Makurdi **References** **[1] Bhuvaneswari, V. and Porkodi, R.
