What About Nigeria’s Neglected Natural Resources?

Over-dependence on oil resources has led to a neglect of other natural resources in Nigeria. Even the solid mineral sector, which marches closely behind the oil and gas sector have only enjoyed scant attention. In fact, within Nigeria’s oil and gas industry, there are indications that the gas sector performs below its capacity due to insufficient attention. Most of Nigeria’s gas is flared, an action that is commonly connected to economic waste and environmental degradation.
