Difficulty: MediumMineral and Energy Resources in Nigeria

Match each Nigerian mineral or energy resource on the left with its primary deposit location or associated power generation site on the right.

  • Bitumen (Tar Sands)Agbabu (Ondo State)
  • Lead and ZincAbakaliki (Ebonyi State)
  • Hydroelectric Power (Jebba Dam)River Niger (Kwara State)
  • LimestoneEwekoro (Ogun) and Gboko (Benue)

Answer

Bitumen matches Agbabu (Ondo State); Lead and Zinc match Abakaliki (Ebonyi State); Hydroelectric Power (Jebba Dam) matches River Niger (Kwara State); Limestone matches Ewekoro (Ogun) and Gboko (Benue).
Each listed resource correctly aligns with its primary location in Nigeria: Bitumen tar sands are found in Agbabu (Ondo State); Lead and Zinc ore deposits occur around Abakaliki (Ebonyi State); Jebba Hydroelectric Power Plant is situated on the River Niger; and industrial limestone quarries operate at Ewekoro and Gboko.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the geographical distribution of major solid mineral and energy sites across Nigeria.
Bitumen is located in Agbabu, Lead/Zinc in Abakaliki, Jebba Dam on the River Niger, and Limestone in Ewekoro and Gboko.
Matching each resource requires knowledge of specific industrial and mineral belts in Nigeria.
2
Pair each resource on the left with its corresponding deposit site or river location on the right.
Left item 1 pairs with Right item 1; Left item 2 pairs with Right item 2; Left item 3 pairs with Right item 3; Left item 4 pairs with Right item 4.
Aligning each economic resource with its primary production hub completes the match.
