The Raw Materials Research and Development Council (RMRDC) has expressed its readiness to collaborate with the Centre for Environmental and Geographical Research (CEGRE), Yobe State University, in a renewed effort to explore and harness the raw material potentials across Yobe State.
This was revealed during a courtesy visit by the State Coordinator RMRDC, Yobe State, Mr. Sani Musa and his delegation to the Centre, where discussions were held on the need for a joint research framework to identify, document, and sustainably utilize the State’s abundant but largely untapped mineral resources.
In his remarks, the RMRDC State Coordinator Yobe State commended the technical capacity and research contributions of CEGRE, describing the Centre as a critical partner in the Council’s mission to support Nigeria’s industrial development through resource-based research. He emphasized the urgency of mapping raw materials such as Trona, among other industrial minerals, which hold economic and strategic importance.
Receiving the delegation, the leadership of CEGRE reaffirmed the Centre’s commitment to fostering applied research and policy-relevant studies that can support the sustainable utilization of local resources. The Centre also assured the Council of its willingness to deploy advanced geospatial tools and multidisciplinary expertise to support the exploration initiative.
