Nigeria Mineral Resources

Before now, we have known some facts about Nigeria. Every nation is blessed with natural resources. However, the resources available  differs among different continents, countries, states and communities. These differences in availability of natural mineral resources makes nature and nations to be unique. Thus, the resources that may not be available in some countries are available in other countries. These countries have them in bulk, others have them in little quantities. The availabiltity of  some these natural resources or mineral resources in some countries, of which Nigeria is not exempted, without doubt has made such
countries to be more endowed  than others thus making them to have comparative advantages over others. This therefore encourages importation and exportation since most counties are not self-sufficient thus creating the room for bilateral relations among different nations.This without fail makes all countries to be dependent on each other in one way or the other. It is indisputable that there is no country that does not have one or more of some natural or mineral resources.  These natiral mineral resources form the basis on which some (if not all) economies of the world thrives.

What Are Mineral Resources?

Simply put, mineral resources are , without doubts, are the basic  raw materials that each continent, country, state and community are endowed with by nature. Mineral resources are either renewable or non-renewable. These primary raw materials are pivotal to every nation since they serve as instruments of industrialization if properly, effectively and efficiently harnessed and managed judiciously. Most industries around the world emerged because of the existence and availability of these natural mineral resources.

Nigeria as a nation is fortunate enough to have been endowed with abundance of some of these natural mineral resources. Some  Nigeria natural resources or Nigeria mineral resources are being explored already while others are yet to be explored maximally. Crude oil and natural gas is one of these Nigeria natural mineral resources that form the bedrock of Nigeria economy since crude oil was discovered in Nigeria in 1956. Before the discovery of crude oil the Nigeria economy thrived on agricultural products. Crude oil and natural gas are therefore the basis on which the Nigeria oil & gas industry came up thus facilitating the petrochemical and fertilizer industries.

Another important natural mineral resources in Nigeria is iron ore as well as other metallurgical raw materials that are available locally. Iron ore and other metallurgical raw materials find applicability and utilization in  the iron and steel industries.

Apart from the aforementioned natural mineral resources others are also important since they are used in construction and building industries, manufacturing industries, chemical industries and a host of other industries.

Nigeria being a nation also have both ferrous and non-ferrous minerals as natural resources. Also available in Nigeria are tin, ceramics, gemstones, limestone, marble, bitumen, sand, coal, clay, talc, and others too numerous to mention which are very important and are used in various manufacturing and product processing industries in Nigeria or are being exported while Nigeria imports the mineral resources they don't have as at when needed. Most of these natural mineral resources are regulated by the Nigeria Federal Government. The Structural Adjustment Programme is like an umbrella to the Raw Materials and Development Council that was founded in 1987.

The availability of these numerous and yet to be tapped natural mineral resources form the foundation on which the fast-growing Nigerian indigenous and non-indigenous industries. These natural mineral resources are also made available for other industries locally and internationally. The avaialablity of these natural or mineral resources in Nigeria therefore makes Nigeria to be a viable place for business opportunities or  business/investment opportunities for both Nigerians and foreign investors. The Federal Government of Nigeria is now putting in place good policies to encourage local and foreign investors. You can't afford to miss these numerous business/investment opporturnities.
