Major Mineral resources in Nigeria and where to find them

-



This country called Nigeria is endowed with natural and solid mineral resources enough to make it the best economy in the world if properly managed. You will hardly find a state or even a community in Nigeria that is not blessed with Solid mineral or natural resources.
This post will help you locate the birth place of some of these resources.

 Most Nigerians have been made to believe that the only natural resources in Nigeria is petroleum which represents about 90% of total exports revenue whereas there are numerous mineral resources in Nigeria buried/deposited underground in many of the states across the federation. Only if the federal government is willing and competent enough to diversify the economy by extracting and using or exporting other resources, the country’s economy won’t have been in this current state of recession. After all, we have been surviving well before oil was discovered in Bayelsa state in 1956.

Agricultural Products in Nigeria
