Nigeria is a country that is blessed with several natural resources. We'll be looking at the natural resources that can be found in the South-Eastern States of Nigeria.

1. Enugu State

This South-Eastern state is blessed with different natural resources which include limestone, gypsum, ironstone, glass sands, coal, oil shale, alum, and clay minerals.

In 1909, a British mines engineer identified as Albert Kitson discovered Nigeria's first coal in Udi Ridge, present-day Enugu. The other natural resources can be found in different communities of the state.

2. Abia State

Apart from crude oil, this state is blessed with gold (though in a small quantity), gypsum, kaolin, lead/zinc, laterite, copper, bentonite clay, limestone, and oil shale.

3. Imo State

This state is blessed with lignite, lead/zinc, gypsum, Phosphate, Marcasite, fine sand, limestone, natural gas, and salt (though not in a large quantity).

4. Anambra State

Natural resources like bauxite, ceramic, natural gas, and crude oil can be found in this state.

In 2021, this state officially joined oil-producing states in Nigeria, following an approval granted by the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC).

5. Ebony State

This state is blessed with lead/zinc, salt, and kaolin. Research shows that there's a large deposit of salt in the state.

For clarity, I'll be explaining some of the natural resources mentioned in this article.

Oil Shale

Oil shale is a type of sedimentary rock formation that can be used to produce gas and oil. This is possible due to the presence of kerogen, a type of organic matter that burns when exposed to flame.

Gypsum

It is also known as calcium sulfate hydrate, and it's a naturally occurring mineral found in layers of sedimentary rocks. It is used for the production of drywall, chalk, and is sometimes used as a fertilizer.

Kaolin

This is a fine soft white clay, resulting from the natural decomposition of other clays of feldspar. It is used in the production of many things, including papers and paints.

Just like the South-Eastern states, every other state in Nigeria is blessed with natural resources.

Ok

They will still loot it dry just like the oil

There's so much wealth potential in this nation.

I think Nigeria is blessed. No state in Nigeria that don't have natural resource.

Oyo, Osun and Ogun states have lots of Solid minerals, we have company that mine solid minerals there.

But their mejor sources of revenue is skulls, both from the dead and the living they harvest skulls.
