Nigeria has a range of world class minerals resources, such as gold, limestone etc. In addition, it has a variety of other occurrences (more than 45) of medium significance albeit important for small scale mining and industrial development. The world class minerals in Nigeria warrants a closer look especially by foreign mining companies.
Nigeria is the most important country politically and economically in West Africa. It is richer than all other West African nations and holds considerable power. Nigeria's most important export is oil, more than half of which is shipped to the United States. Rubber and cacao (for chocolate and cocoa) are also important export products.

The Nigeria flood of 2012 has been described as the most severe and devastating in the history of modern Nigeria. The Niger Delta region suffered the most extensive devastation because of its loion in the lowest part of Nigeria where the Niger and Benue rivers empty their waters into the Atlantic Ocean. The main research questions discussed in this paper are; (a) what were the magnitude and ...
The quality of groundwater is of vital importance, whether for industrial or domestic purposes. The quality of groundwater for different purposes depend largely on its physical, chemical and bacteriological compositions and as a result of this, various concerned agencies have set out permissible standards for water usage. According to Davis et al, (1966), these standards are based on two main ...

· In the early stages of the Gondwana breakup, an important development was the intermittent breaching by marine waters of a southern land barrier called Walvis Ridge, when Brazil and Nigeria were still joined at the top. These marine waters remained trapped when breaching ceased and evaporated to form thick layers of salt and salt formations.
