Nigeria Clay Reserves And Distributes
Clays of various kinds and grades abound throughout Nigeria’s sedimentary basins and on the basement. Modern industrial uses of clay for ceramics and bricks obtain throughout the country. Ceramic works at Abeokuta (Ogun State), Ikorodu (Lagos State), Okigwe (Imo State), Umuahia (Abia State) and Suleja in Niger State produce glazed wares from local kaolin. Refractory clays for refractory bricks have been proven at Onibode near Abeokuta where the refractoriness is very high at about 1,750°C.
In Enugu, beneath the coal seams, are vast deposits of other fire clays, with reserves of about 130 million tonnes. Other major clay deposits occur in Akwa lbom (Etinan, ltu, Onna, Uyo); Anambra State at Ozubulu (3.5 million tonnes) and Ukpor (4.2 million tonnes); Edo/Delta States at lgoriakhi (over 14.0 million tonnes); Imo/Abia States (over 2.0 million tonnes) at lgbere and Ogbuebule; Kaduna State (over 5.3 million tonnes) at Miraba- Rido and Kaohia; Katsina State (3.4 million tonnes) at Kankara; Ogun State (over 2.0 million tonnes) at Oke-Eri and Illefun Hill; large deposits in Ondo State; over 18 million tonnes in Plateau State at Nafuta, Worrom, Major Porter and Sabon Gida; and, in Sokoto State 2.0 million tonnes of pisolitic clays occur at Girl, and clay bricks are made at Wurno (RMRDC, 1989). Bentonitic clays, which are used for drilling mud, were first produced in Bende in Abia State in 1961-62.
Recent investigations by the Nigerian Mining Corporation, aimed at locally sourcing the enormous amount of bentonite imported into the country by the petroleum industry, established the existence of bentonitic clay reserves of over 700 million tonnes in the country, with the largest single deposit atAfuze in Edo State holding 70-80 million tonnes.
