Nigeria is a country endowed enormously with both human and natural resources. Some of these resources include amongst others livestock, arable land and mineral deposits.
Since there are various mineral resources in Ogun State (such as limestone, chalk, phosphates, etc), many industries are comfortable operating from the State, producing things like cement, plastics, rubber, paint, carpets, and so on. We should stress the fact that one of the major mineral resources that Ogun State has is limestone.
Our local businesses use mineral resources in Nigeria to produce cement, oil and other useful products that can be sold to bring revenue. Limestone has so many properties and usage possibilities (cement, quicklime, mortar; it is added to food, can be used in agriculture, etc.) that it is known as a valuable mineral.
In road construction, limestone aggregate direct from the quarry can be used as base material. Lowergrade limestones, particularly ones with some clay content, can be used in the production of cement for use in the building and construction industry.

Tudun Wada Kano State, Nigeria has been developed. A geophysical evaluation using Electrical Resistivity method for groundwater exploration at the study area was carried out which involved the utilization of Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) technique with schlumberger array system. The study area is located within the sedimentary
Resource Exploitation: This is the use of resources for economic growth, sometimes with a negative connotation of accompanying environmental degradation. Environmental Impact: This is an analytical process that systematically examines the possible environmental consequences of the implementation of projects, programmes and policies.
Apr 10, 2016#0183;#32;Limestone Limestone is formed through direct crystallisation from seawater and accumulation of shell fragments. The average specific gravity of Nigerian limestone varies from to and a possible market for the Nigerian government to explore because of its usefulness for industries. Limestone is found in large quantities in Borno, Sokoto, Cross River and Benue states.
Limestone in powdered form is also used as a substance to absorb pollutants or control coal mine dust at many coalmining facilities. Lime which is the byproduct of limestone is used to neutralize acids and treat wastewater, industrial sludge, animal waste, and water supplies
Limestone. Limestone is a sedimentary rock composed mostly of the mineral calcite and comprising about 15% of the Earths sedimentary crust. It is a basic building block of the construction industry (dimension stone) and a chief material from which aggregate, cement, lime and building stone are made. 71% of all crushed stone produced in the is either limestone or dolomite.
Guyuk is a town and Local Government Area in Adamawa State, has many limestone deposits. Guyuk is located along the NumanBiu road. The local ethnic group in Guyuk is the Longuda Longuda Kingdom title is Kwandi Nguryaba.
Introduction Nigeria is the most populated country in Africa and the seventh most populated country in the world. It has the 20th largest economy in the world with a 500 billion to 1 trillion Gross Domestic Product (GDP) with an emerging market and large oil and limestone natural resources.
Limestone is one mineral in Nigeria with a lot of uses. However, most of the limestone exploration in Nigeria are done for the production of cement. Aside cement production, this strategic natural resource in Nigeria is also made into crushed stone and used as a construction material.
Limestone is considered to be one of Nigerias strategic minerals. The biggest and purest limestone deposits can be found around the Middle and Southwest belt regions of Nigeria. It is estimated that in the Southwest region alone, there are 31 million metric tonnes of limestone. For this reason, Nigeria is considered to have the richest limestone deposits in West Africa.

All these lists are bullsh* only mineral resource that runs Nigeria is oil and it is found mostly in Rivers and Delta States with fringes in Imo,Abia,Bayelsa and AkwaIbom State.
Mar 02, 2016#0183;#32;Nigeria has an estimated reserve of Limestone in excess of over one billion {1,000,000,000} metric tons of Limestone scattered in different parts of the country to include Benue, Ogun, Kogi and Cross River states. Lime is a general term for calciumcontaining inorganic materials, in which carbonates, oxides and hydroxides predominate.
and Nwajide, 1998). Limestone and marble, the principal raw materials for cement manufacture, are very essential for a rapidly growing nation like Nigeria. These industrial rocks can be said to be already in extensive use in Nigeria. They are used mostly for one purpose the production of building and constructional materials.
Nigeria has dependent on crude oil resources for a very long time, yet, what it offers the economy is a disarticulated and directionless economy, bequitting nothing than misery and poverty of
