Nigeria's Coal Potential Underutilized Due to Infrastructure and Administrative Location…
What happened
Vast coal deposits are located beneath Enugu, which is described as the Coal City. These deposits are argued to be sufficient to meet Nigeria’s energy needs for decades if developed properly. The Nigerian Coal Corporation, the agency historically tied to coal, is not headquartered in the region where the resource is identified.
