About This Book

A concise survey of Northern Nigeria's recent development centers on the discovery and commercial exploitation of extensive tin deposits and their transformative economic implications. The narrative describes geographical features, towns, river transport, markets, agricultural and mineral production, and the infrastructure and business activities enabling extraction and export. It combines eyewitness description with technical and administrative information, illustrated by numerous photographs and plates documenting landscape, settlements, mining methods, and daily life, while assessing prospects and practical challenges facing resource-driven development.
