While the mining sector was a mainstay of the economy up until the late 1960s, the focus on oil from that point on has seen the mining’s share of GDP fall to 0.5% in 2019. To diversify economic activity and export composition, the government launched the Roadmap for Solid Minerals in 2016, a three-phase plan for sector revitalisation.
Nigeria is richly endowed with a variety of Natural Resources raging from precious metals various stones to industrial such as Barites, Gypsum, Kaolin and Marble. Most of these are yet to be exploited. Statistically, the level of exploitation of these minerals is very low in relation to the extent of deposit found in the country.

MINERAL PROSPECTING AND EXPLORATION IN NIGERIA. Gabriel O Idowu. The purpose of any mining exploration is to locate new source of minerals that can meet the needs of a nation. The mineral industry's export makes an important part of the African gross income, but the process of mineral development however greatly affects the environment.
The Nigerian landscape holds over 30 types of solid minerals in an identified 450 locations. Deposits span gemstones, metallic ores, energy minerals and construction materials,
Based on the findings of this study, the problems of solid minerals in Nigeria are inadequate basic infrastructural, illegal mining, unfavorable laws in the sector, high capital outlay, inadequate

4.2 MAJOR CONTRIBUTIONS OF MINERALS TO THE ECONOMY IN NIGERIA Mineral resources contribute majorly to the Nigerian economy in d following ways; 1) Sources of raw material for allied industries. As we can see from the minerals highlighted above, minerals are major source of raw materials in industries e. g gold used for jewelries, limestone for
1.2 Bedrock on the California coast with the Golden Gate Bridge in the background. Minerals are our planet. They form the Earth and the bedrock that we live on, making up all of Earth’s rocks and sediments, and they are important components in soils. So, they literally are the foundations for our lives. Perhaps because they are ubiquitous
3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The aggregate production of mineral products in Nigeria in 2021 grew by 39.19% from 64.29 million tons recorded in 2020 to 89.48 million tons in 2021, indicating an improve-ment in production. On state profile analysis, Ogun state
With greater government support and a growing role as a generator of export earnings, Nigeria’s mining sector is poised to maximise its considerable potential in precious metals and gems. Total revenue from the sector is expected to rise by 25% to N3.6bn ($8.5m) in 2023, reflecting its resilience, as well as continued federal and state.
The creation of jobs is essential for the reduction of poverty and the overall growth of the economy. 2. Contribution to the GDP: Mining is a significant contributor to Nigeria’s GDP. The sector accounts for about 10% of the country’s GDP, and its growth has a positive impact on other sectors of the economy.
Importance: Crude oil is extremely important to Nigeria. It is the country’s major export and brings in most of the country’s money. Crude oil demand and price are the major factors upon which the country’s budget estimate is formulated. Uses: Crude oil is the natural substance from which petrol, diesel, kerosene, and jet fuel are made
