This book presents an aerial view of the confluence of Rivers Niger and Benue at Lokoja in Central Nigeria with its remarkable picturesque and touristique attraction. In addition, the Campano- Maastrichtian Agbaja (375m), Patti (420m) and Aforo (510m) plateaux which have been preserved by the lateralized iron capping host the underlying oolitic and pisolitic ironstones, water springs and by their relief constitute locations of touristic attraction and ideal field laboratories for general and engineering geology studies; particularly with several road cuttings opened up by road construction activities. The plateaux slope into Precambrian, which hosts Banded Iron Formation and marble deposits to the west and the Maastrichtian coralliferous deposits of the northern Anambra Basin to the east. These tremendous potential for integrated resource development and geotourism is waiting to be tapped. Thus, investing into these resources and tourism potentials will bring benefits to wide segments of the society and alleviate poverty nationwide through the private partnership program (PPP) initiative and NGOs investment.
