This study assessed effects of coal mining on soil quality in Owukpa district, Ogbadibo local government area of Benue State Nigeria. Its objectives were to compare the quality of soil in Owukpa (the affected area) with quality of soil in Otukpa (control site) and then compare the quality of soil in the affected area with Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO) standard for crop production.
A major incentive for colonial rule in Nigeria were her natural resources and the wealth hidden beneath her soils, including large deposits of minerals strewn around the country. So alluring and wide spread were these deposits that it motivated the colonial government to amalgamate the territories now known as Nigeria for easier colonial management and transportation to Europe.
#0183;#32;The accident trends in the Nigerian Coal Corporation during five years before and five years after the civil war are reviewed. Higher rates observed during the postwar period have been attributed to worsened human and environmental factors. Recommendations are made on how coal mining accidents can be reduced by a positive approach to safety.
Hydrogeological studies of the Enugu coal mining area were carried out which included hydrogeochemical analyses of water samples. These analyses revealed high sulphate and iron content in the acid mine drainage water as well as high total dissolved solids (TDS) and low pH (acidity) values. The water issues from the Ajali Sandstone formation and the underlying carbonaceous Mamu
Nigeria is one of the countries of the Guinea coast with industrial deposits of coal. It was found in the early twentieth century. Coal quality is quite high: the average content of ash is 10%, moisture 9%, sulfur
The mining and production of coal were at its peak in the 1950s, but unfortunately, after the civil war, coal production in Nigeria declined drastically. Obviously, with the diversion to crude oil, the mining of coal has been removed from the Nigerian natural resources limelight.
The extraction and the use of coal in Nigeria started in 1916. Most of the coal in Enugu State is bituminous. Enugu coal is found on thin the spheres of Anambra basin. Coal generally in Enugu is mined through the open cast methods and the underground mining methods. Principally, the Nigerian mining
In spite of the growing global initiatives towards achieving clean energy, coal remains a dominant source of electricity generation, a fuel for iron and steel production, an important entity among road construction materials and a commodity for foreign exchange earnings for many nations. Coal mining from old and active sites remains a source of an environmental problem described as acid mine
Coal was discovered in Enugu, Nigeria in 1909. The Ogbete drift mine opened six years later. Its operations and others in the country were merged into a new corporation in 1950 known as the Nigerian Coal Corporation (NCC). The NCC was tasked with exploiting coal resources, and held a monopoly on coal and coke mining,

Coal was first discovered in Nigeria in 1909 near Udi in Central Eastern Nigeria [10]. The Nigeria Coal Corporation formed in 1950 operated two underground coal mines; Okpara and Onyeama mines and two surface mines Orukpa and Okaba mines located on the eastern edge of the Anambra coal basin.
Outside the traditional coal areas in Eastern Nigeria, coal is also found in Kogi State. Okobo, a small town in Enjema District of Ankpa Local Government Area, has reserves of up to 380 million tonnes of coal. Abiodun BaiyewuTeru, Executive Director at Global Rights Nigeria, describes the human rights perspective of coal mining in Nigeria.
Such Acts included the Nigerian Coal Mining Act of 1950, the Gold and Diamond Trading Act, the Explosives Act of 1964, the Tin Act No. 25 of 1967, and the Quarries Act and Allied Regulations of 1969.
Mining regulations drastically changed and productivity declined. In the late 1990s the government started selling governmentowned mining companies to private investors. Coal, Lignite and Coke Mining in Nigeria. Coal was first discovered in 1909 and the industry thrived for some years before the Civil War.
