Activities
The National Centre for marine Geosciences, located in Yenagoa, is mandated to collect and collate geo-scientific data and information from Nigeria’s coastal and offshore environments central to reconstruction of their geological evolution, mineral resources discoveries and exploitation, geohazard mitigation, and sustainable development.
In pursuit of this mandate, the Centre creates a data bank and body of knowledge where concerns and challenges of investors, investigators and all other stakeholders interested in geo-scientific evolution, exploitation, development, vulnerability and management of Nigeria’s coastal and offshore environments are creditably catered for.
Capacity-building and research efforts of the Centre have been recently welcomed by Niger Delta University, University of Port Harcourt, Federal University Otuoke, AkwaIbom State University, Federal University of Technology Akure, and the International Council of Science Union (Regional Office for Africa), South Africa.
