[size=14pt]Coal Reserves, Nigeria[/size]

In 1909, coal was discovered in Enugu, Nigeria. The Ogbete drift mine opened six years later. The Ogbete mine's operations and others in the country were merged into a new corporation in 1950: The Nigerian Coal Corporation. Nigeria's coal industry suffered a blow in the 1950s when oil was discovered. Up until this point, the Nigerian Railway Corporation was the largest consumer of coal in the country. However, after the discovery of oil, the Railway Corporation began to replace its coal burning trains with diesel-powered engines. [b]Nigeria still holds large coal reserves, estimated to be at least 2 billion metric tons. The discovery of bituminous coal suitable for use in coke production for the iron and steel industries opens up potential new domestic markets. With the loss of its largest domestic consumers, the NCC began exporting coal to Italy and the United Kingdom, as its low sulfur content is desirable one of the most bituminous in the world). The main Coal producing states in Nigeria are: Kogi, Enugu, Benue and Plateau

[size=14pt]Citrus Production, Nigeria[/size]

In Nigeria, about 3.4 Million metric tonnes of citrus fruits are produced annually (2013) from an estimated hectarage of 3 million hectares of land (FAO, 2008). The country is the 9th major citrus fruit producing country globally, just after italy. And the largest growing region in Africa, followed by Egypt, Morocco and South Africa.
Major citrus producing states in Nigeria include Benue, Nassarawa, Kogi, Ogun, Oyo, Osun, Ebonyi, Kaduna, Taraba, Ekiti, Imo, Kwara, Edo, and Delta in that order. Most citrus production is accounted for by oranges, but significant quantities of grape fruits, lemons and limes are also grown. Fruit industry in Nigeria began under the western Regional government of Chief Obafemi Awolowo in the 1950’s. As a result of the down-turn in cocoa trade, consequent upon some pervasive microbiological attack, the government decided to start a pilot project in the cultivation of citrus and other fruits primarily as a way of providing farmers with an alternative source of income. Thus, the Lafia caning factory in Ibadan was born in 1954, and to feed the factory, there was the establishment of Apoje Citrus Farm, backed with an aggressive Farm settlement scheme. Interestingly, this has been bought by Funman Agricultural Product Ltd and it serves as its manufacturing base. From that small beginning in the 1950’s, fruit juice manufacturing in Nigeria has taken a giant leap.

[size=14pt]Tin (cassiterite) and Columbite Production, Nigeria[/size]

Nigeria is blessed with Huge Tin Ore reserves. Nigeria’s Jos Plateau, was once the hub of a mining industry which fed European demand for tin through much of the 20th century. Tin mining in Plateau began in October 1904 when the British colonial government sent a mineral-survey team to assess the mineral deposits within the region. Tin deposits were discovered in the Jos-Plateau area and foreign companies were allowed by the colonial regime to operate in the territory and mine the resources, using mechanised equipment which helped to curb the risks and prevent the death of the mine workers. Today, Nigeria is the second largest tin producing country in Africa, just above Russia globally , Although it has the reserves to sustain a much larger production with more investment. Nigeria's reserves are located in Plateau, Kano, Ondo, Nassarawa, Kwara, Bauchi, and Osun states

The major source of foreign reserve in Thailand is Rice and rice related product. And their per capita income is higher than Nigeria. Dont down play Agriculture. if well manage it can raise Nigeria economy to a very high level.

United State is d number 1 exporter of food in the world. United State of America makes about 120 billion dollars yearly on agricultural export while Nigeria makes less than 40 billion dollars on crude oil sale.

However because of laziness and poor management, Nigeria is not maximizing its agricultural potential which can equal oil revenue if well planned and managed

Edo State tend to have most of the things in terms of varieties not volume per product in Southern Nigeria.

Nice one.but you missed Osun state among palm oil producing state. I'm sure is a mistake I know Osun state produce palm oil even more than Oyo especially Ikire,Apomu,ife axis.

Pls include Edo in the cashew production, edo has cashew more than the states u mentioned.

Wow...just that we don't give attention to agriculture again, d north is really leading in agriculture followed by south west.. Only if we can go bak to agriculture, we need to diversify from only oil. The only issue is, everyone is running away from farm work...

I tink d govt need to make agriculture attractive, put some measure in place to maintain d agriculture produce and management of it...

Nice.

This is why Agriculture must be aggressively developed in this country. The revenue potential is beyond what oil currently offers us, especially considering its falling value, availability of shale, and the increasingly hostile competitive market.

President Buhari's plan to effectively diversify our mono-economy should be implemented in an accelerated manner. The huge deposits of solid minerals, added to revenue from agriculture will go a long way to buffer our departure from our helpless reliance on crude oil.
