The Nigerian Geological Survey Agency warmly welcomed the Executive Secretary, Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organisation (CTBTO), Dr. Robert Floyd, and the Acting Executive Chairman of the Nigeria Atomic Energy Commission (NAEC), Engr. Dr. Anthony I. G. Ekedegwa on Tuesday. The visit provided an opportunity for discussion between these organizations and the GSN regarding potential collaborative efforts in support of national development.

During the visit, the Director-General of the GSN personally escorted the distinguished guests on a comprehensive tour of the NGSA’s Seismic Monitoring facility. This provided a valuable opportunity to showcase the NGSA’s capabilities in earthquake monitoring and research.

The Director-General reiterated the NGSA’s unwavering dedication to fulfilling its mandate, emphasizing the organization’s commitment to adhering to international standards and best practices in geological survey and research. The visit concluded with a productive exchange of ideas and a mutual expression of continued collaboration between the organizations for the advancement of Nigeria’s geological understanding and resource management.

Litho-structural Map of Nigeria

NG Mod — Wed, 15 Mar 2023 07:32:31 +0000

“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. It is the presentation of a detailed structural architecture that is a reflection of the tectonic evolution of Nigeria

The previous map versions did not utilize the national airborne magnetic and radiometric data, as a consequence, the structural geometry of Nigeria has not been well captured.

The fundamental goal of this mapping program was to map the regional structural architecture through Nigeria. This provides a basis for building an understanding of the tectonic development which will provide a framework for understanding the mineral systems in Nigeria.”

. . . Dr Abdulrazaq Garba, Former Director General (2019 – 2024)

In this interpretation, several aspects of the structural geometry of Nigeria were identified:

• The delineated Basement Domains and sub-domains that make-up the Pan-African igneous-metamorphic basement
• Phanerozoic Basins
• Bida Basin rift axis
• High strain domains within the Benue Trough

The Litho-Structural map will provide a foundation for the development of the following which will also be provided for public use soon:
• NGSA Bulletin detailing the Litho-structural mapping and the resulting understanding of the tectonic evolution of Nigeria
• National 1:2 million scale Metallogenic Map
• Benue Trough Architecture and Metallogenic Map
• Detailed Basement Domain maps
