It, however, said that Borno recorded the least production in 2020 with 5,060 tons.

“Similarly, Ogun, FCT and Kogi states were the top three states with the largest share of production in 2019.

“This report shows that Ogun produced 12.55 million tons, FCT produced 10.82 million tons, while Kogi recorded 10.11 million tons over the same period.”

The report said that limestone, sand and granite were the three most mined minerals in 2020, while limestone, granite and laterite were the top biggest minerals in 2019.

The mining and quarrying sector is crucial to growth in Nigeria considering the potential to export mineral resources to the rest of the world and the drive for diversification.
