(2009) reported that only three marble deposits (Jakura, Kwakuti and Igbetti) are exploited for local construction stone production in Nigeria. Most other deposits are mainly for production of lime for cement industries and other purposes. The general under utilization of marbles in the construction industry in Nigeria is also due to the fact that
Limestone occurs only in the sedimentary basins in Nigeria. It occurs mainly in the Benue Trough (Lower, Middle and Upper), Sokoto, Dahomey and Borno (Chad) Basins. Limestone-forming environments (shallow coastal marine conditions), appear to have occurred several times in the geological history of the basins. However, the limestone …
