Subjects:	The paper reviewed the useful details of the Soboyejo Isopleths and the Nigerian Meteorological Agency wind Documentation map produced for Nigeria. Discrepancies were observed in the interpretations given to the data produced by the Agency. The researchers used a mathematical relationship between the Soboyejo's and the Nigerian Meteorological Agency data to produce results which correspond to 100 year mean recurrent interval. Gumbel Type I distribution model of yearly highest gust was used to analyse the data for some scattered points; while the Microsoft Office Excel was used as the tool for the linear interpolations and extrapolations of the data to subdivide the country into five main categories with a yearly mean of 35 to 42 (Category I) 42 to 45.8(Category II) 45.8 to 50(Category III) 50 to 55(Category IV) and 55 to 56 ms-1 (Category V) respectively. These values correspond with dynamic pressures of 941 to 1088 (Category I) 1088 to 1283(Category II) 1283 to 1535(Category III) 1535 to 1855(Category IV) and 1855 to 1925N/m2 (Category V) respectively for various classes. Factors accounting for the geographic location topographical effects building size surface roughness and wind gustiness etc. must be incorporated before the final design loads are computed for various structural systems under consideration
