The main purpose of the current study is to conduct drought assessment over Kano State, Nigeria for 2018. We used two different drought indices including Standardized Precipitation Index SPI and the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index NDVI . Meteorological data on precipitation was used to compute the Standardized Precipitation Index, and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index was generated from MODIS NDVI data sets. The conventional SPI classification scheme which categorize drought under seven groups was used along with the NDVI values which ranges from 1 to 1. Results indicate a near normal condition in the study area. Ezekiel. O. Eguaroje | Thomas. U.
