Coal Mining and Processing Industry in Nigeria by Limult
Coal remains a dominant source of electricity generation, a fuel for iron and steel production, an important entity among road construction materials and a commodity for foreign exchange earnings for many nations.
The exploitation of minerals from the earth, represents one of
man’s early areas of civilization.
No nation experiences significant advances in technology and diversification of economy with the associated increases in foreign exchange and creation of jobs for her populace without mining. It is on this premise, that researchers, investors and the government view mining and processing of local coal deposits as a great potential.
The modern Coal Mine
A modern coal mine is a highly mechanized industrial plant that has to meet strict standards of engineering design and operation. The size, power, strength, monitoring and control features, and automation of mining equipment.
The Mining Process
The coal mining process consists of several sequential stages:
(1) Exploration of a potentially economic coal seam to
assess minable reserves, environmental issues, marketable reserves, potential
markets, and permitting risks;
(2) Analysis and selection of a mining plan
(3) Securing the markets
(4) Developing the mine
(5) Extracting the coal
(6) Processing the coal if necessary
(7) Decommissioning the mine and releasing the property for
post-mining use.
The two essential requirements that must be fulfilled before
a prospective coal mine can enter the development stage are confirmation that
there are sufficient minable reserves of adequate quality with no unacceptable
environmental or permitting risks, and confirmation of an assured or contracted
market for a substantial fraction of the coal that will be mined.
Coal seams can be mined by surface or underground methods, with the choice of mining method dictated by both technical and economic factors.
The important technical factors are the thickness of the coal seam, the depth of the coal seam, the inclination of the seam, and the surface topography.
The important economic
parameters are the relative costs of mining coal by surface and underground
methods including costs associated with any site-specific land use constraints,
the cost of removing the material above the coal seam in the surface method,
and the price of coal.
The price for any particular coal is related directly to coal quality due to the higher percentage of coal mined in Nigeria. The price for steam coal is dependent primarily on its heating value and sulfur content.

The Coal Mining and Processing Factory in Nigeria by Limult
The Nigeria mining industry consists of the extraction, beneficiation, and processing of naturally occurring solid minerals from the earth. These mined minerals include coal, iron, copper, or zinc, and industrial minerals such as potash, limestone, and other crushed rocks.
Minerals are an essential source of raw materials for building and chemical industries and are also a critical part of the production of everyday electronics and consumer products.
PRODUCTION AND SUPPLY
Niger and Nigeria are the only countries in sub-Saharan Africa in which coal is presently being mined as a fuel source for powerplants and domestic use.
Coals are mined either underground or through surface methods like open-pit mining. Approximately 66% of coal and 97% of non-fuel minerals are extracted through surface mining methods. Both mining methods go through a process involving three general stages.
The first stage is extraction, which includes blasting and drilling to loosen and remove material from the mine. Second stage is materials handling. It involves transporting the ore and waste from the mine to the mill or disposal area. This stage recovers the valuable portion of the mined material and produces the final marketable product. Beneficiation operations primarily consist of crushing, grinding, and separations, while processing operations involve smelting and/or refining. Each of these stages is dependent on large amounts of energy from varying sources, including electricity and diesel fuel.
Mining Machinery is a high-technological enterprise that integrates research, design, manufacture, installation and commissioning, personal training, after-sales service etc., depending on the advanced equipment and abundant technological strength, LIMULT GROUP offer one-stop service and ensure the high rate recovery of clients' mine.

Akure Airport Development by Limult
The Federal Government of Nigeria has selected Akure Airport as one of the four aerodromes to benefit from the infrastructure development plan, several steps had been taken since the inception of Governor Akeredolu’s administration to attract global attention.
The Governor, through patronage, helped to revive the moribund Lagos-Akure route and also activated Abuja-Akure route.
The collaboration led to the building of a temporary terminal due to the encouraging traffic at the facility, also, The governor facilitated the coming of Air Peace Airlines to the state which fly Lagos-Akure route and also encouraged Overland Airways on Abuja- Akure route; both now operate daily to and fro the state capital.”
The Commissioner disclosed that within his first one year in office, the attention the governor paid to the airport brought about the collaboration between the state and the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN).
It was disclosed that N2.588 billion was approved for aeronautical information system that would give accurate information, including weather information, to pilots other aviators.
The Minister added that the contract would include the provision of Instrument Landing System for aircraft operations in harsh weather conditions.

The International Boundary by Limult
Borders are political boundaries of legal jurisdictions, such as governments, sovereign states, federated states, and other subnational entities. They are established through agreements between political or social entities that control those areas; the creation of these agreements is called boundary delimitation.
In spite of the fact that international boundaries are a
very important tool, maybe the most essential one for stabilizing the relations
between nations, an up-to-date, internationally agreed model of boundary making
does not exist, nor does a comprehensive attempt to extend the early four-phase
description of the process.
The lack of such a model leads to insufficient technical
support for statesmen with regard to delimitating the boundary and the
practical arrangements associated with it. Statesmen on both sides usually have
to come to an agreement in a tense atmosphere, sometimes after wars or during
tough conflicts. They act under public and sometimes even international
pressure.
The process of negotiation, which usually includes the
requirement to compromise with regard to national interests, leaves them no
room for any technicalities: these must be dealt with by professional staff
with legal and geospatial training and professional experiences. Consultation
with people who may not have the proper knowledge and technical skills may
cause problems later on during the boundary-making process.
Effect of Unclear Definition of Boundary
Unclear defining of the boundary in the allocation may
result in problems during delimitation and subsequent delays in executing the
agreement. If the definition of the delimitation and the guidance to the
demarcation are insufficient, a conflict may arise before 18 or during the
demarcation. If the demarcation is not well documented and mutually and
formally agreed on, it may cause conflicts and even wars in the future. If the
boundary is not well maintained and the boundary zone not well administered, the
behavior on the ground will not fit the boundary line, which may cause
conflicts in the future.
A comprehensive boundary model may resolve these potential problems prior to their appearance. It serves as a source of reference and as a check list, which may reduce complications and speed up negotiations. Also, if followed by the two parties, reduce misinterpretations and conflicts, and speed up the process of the demarcation on the ground, which follows the agreement, as well as contribute to future precise reconstruction or densification of the boundary markers.

The Jos Airport by LIMULT
The Jos Airport also know as the Yakubu Gowon airport. Air Vice Marshal Anthony E.Okpere, commissioned the Yakubu Gowon airport on 4th March, 1988.
The Airport is located at Heipang in Barkin Ladi Local Government Area of Plateau State.
It is approximately 40km from the city centre and built on a table land. The nearest town to the Airport is Kassa.
Latest Development about the Jos airport
The Governor of Plateau State , Simon Lalong has made provision in this year’s budget to expand and develop the perishable cargo terminal at the Jos airport in other to facilitate the evacuation and distribution of farm produce and livestock from the state.
The perishable cargo terminal has been lying fallow at the airport. Governor Lalong disclosed this when he spoke with Aviation reporters at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos. said that quick evacuation of farm produce would help the farmers make maximum profits from their crops and also ensure that they are sold out.
The Governor said “The Jos airport is already designated as international cargo airport. It is only that it has not been used for a very long time. So when we came in we went to the place and we have it in the budget to expand the place and provide the necessary facilities so that we can use the airport properly as cargo airport.
Secondly we now focus on agriculture as you mentioned. A lot of farm produce comes through Jos, from Maiduguri and other parts of the neighboring states. “Jos is a transit to about five states, so all of them will pass through the airport.
Because of that we need collaboration with the federal government so we will quickly do the expansion and take advantage of the international cargo airport that we have.”
