Abstract
This work reviews geothermal energy prospecting in energy generation. There are challenging energy needs, with demand exceeding generation. The populace has inequitable access to the meager and unstable electricity services in the country. Alternative energy sources (preferably renewable) relieve the current energy challenges. Thus, the focus is on geothermal resources for this study. A direct need for the application of geothermal energy is the production of electricity and with numerous geothermal energy potential sites in the country, showing surface heat manifestations; the geothermal energy option presents an attractive and cheaper alternative energy source for Nigeria.
