The Nigerian Geological Survey Agency partners National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI) on the development of a national policy to discourage export of Nigeria solid minerals and support domestication of processing of raw materials and local manufacturing. The former DG, NGSA Dr. Abdulrazaq A. Garba met with the Chief Executive Officer of NASENI,…
NGSA has acquired brand-new state-of-the-art Analytical equipment through the Mineral Support for Economic Diversification (MinDiver) Project to enhance its capacity in the provision of analytical services. The Z-300 Laser–induced breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) Analyzer is a handheld analyzer that measures every element in the periodic table of the elements from H to U. The Z-300 LIBS…
NGSA has recently acquired a state-of- the-art Analytical equipment (TQ-ICP-MS) through the MinDiver Project and is in the process of installing the equipment at its headquarters in Abuja. The Thermo Scientific iCAP TQ-ICP-MS is a high performance ICP-MS utilizing triple quadrupole technology for ultra trace quantification of elements in a variety of challenging matrices, it…
“The new 1:2 million scale Litho-structural map of Nigeria represents a significant update and approach to mapping and the understanding of Nigerian Geology. It also provides a foundation for understanding the tectonic evolution of Nigeria and its Mineral Systems. This map is one of the most notable updates from previous iterations of the National Map.…

The impediment to economic growth and the challenges of mono-economy has prompted the Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN) to generate interest and develop urgent policies on rejuvenation of the solid mineral industry in order to diversify the economy (Alabi et al., 2016). Solid minerals of different varieties are largely available in Nigeria, these cuts across…
Nigerian Geological Survey Agency (NGSA) is currently working on updating the geochronology of the Nigerian Basement Rocks with credible data on rock ages. The research aims to generate and fill in gaps on Geochronology Map of Nigerian Basement Rocks using Petrography, Geochronology and Isotope geochemistry techniques on selected rock samples. The various rock units of…
Executive SummaryThe collapse of buildings is a re-occurring disaster in several Nigerian cities for many years, resulting in the loss of lives and properties. This explains the rationale for this project undertaken by the Nigerian Geological Survey Agency with the following major objectives and deliverables: Produce engineering geological maps which can be used to select…
