Nigeria occupies a vast rainforest zone, which is rich in green biodiversity and wildlife, but mineral exploitation is a threat to its varied biodiversity and vulnerable ecosystems (Ako et al., 2014; Akanwa et al., 2017).Mining operations threaten green areas based on the drastic progressive changes in the ecosystems that cause environmental damages with …
In Nigeria, you can find marble, zinc, salt, crude oil, gold, glass-sand, amethyst, gemstones, limestone to name a few. Many of them, including limestone, are believed to be very important. Before we talk about where was limestone first found in Nigeria and where it can be found today, we should understand what this stone is.
