This study analyzed satellite based Land Surface Emissivity (LSE) of Lapai and environs, Niger State, Nigeria. Thus, LSE effects have the capacity to cause health disasters in an urban center. This study adopted the algorithm for deriving LSE from Satellite Lansat 5, 7 and 8 using infrared sensor and surface emissivity from Google Earth Engine to generate the imageries. The imageries were derived in three epochs of 2000, 2010 and 2022 respectively. The findings showed that in the year 2000, LSE was highest in the south-eastern, north-eastern and the eastern segments of Lapai and its environs. In the year 2010, LSE was highest in the north-eastern, south-eastern and the eastern segments of the study area. Currently in the year 2022, LSE concentrated on Lapai central area. The distribution of LSE across the Lapai town and environs is as a result of random alteration of the biophysical components of the earth surface such as building, farming and other development purposes. Therefore, it is recommended that the government of Niger State and other policy makers should encourage urban greening and tree planting in order to ameliorate the effects of LSE on human health.
