Read the passage below carefully:

The discovery of commercial coal deposits near Enugu in 1909 significantly altered the industrial landscape of colonial Nigeria. To regulate mining operations and manage distribution, the colonial administration formally established the Nigerian Coal Corporation (NCC) in 1950. Initially, the corporation was tasked primarily with supplying fuel to the Nigerian Railway Corporation for steam locomotives and powering electricity generation plants in Lagos. However, following the nationwide expansion of diesel-powered engines and the discovery of crude oil in Oloibiri in 1956, domestic demand for coal declined rapidly. Consequently, the NCC shifted its commercial strategy towards exporting coal to neighboring West African countries, such as Ghana, to sustain its operational revenue.
