• Citizenship by Registration; This type of citizenship can be obtained by any of the following persons:
  - A foreign woman married to a Nigerian man.
  - Anyone who is of age (17) born outside of the country whose either one or both grandparents is or was a citizen of Nigeria.
  - A foreign child adopted by Nigerian parents. 
• Citizenship by Naturalisation; Anyone who is of full age and has lived in Nigeria for at least fifteen years and has intentions to continue residing in Nigeria. Such person must be familiar with the customs and language of Nigeria and must be able to support himself/herself. 

\(\frac{\text{science}}{\text{graduates}}\) = \(\frac{\theta}{360}\) x 4320

where \(\theta\) + 100 + 80 + 108 = 360

\(\theta\) = 360 - 288 = 360

\(\frac{\text{science}}{\text{graduates}}\) = \(\frac{72}{360} \times 4320\)

= 864

One of the conditions of granting citizenship to a foreigner is that the person must take the Oath of Allegiance prescribed in the Seventh Schedule to the Constitution.

2(30 + x) = 360 - 200

60 + 2x = 160

2x = 160 - 60

2x = 100

x = \(\frac{100}{2}\)

x = 50

Required distance = x

where \(\frac{1}{50m}\) = sin 60 x 50m x 0.866

x = 43.3m
