Coal Deposits in Nigeria, West Africa with their Locations . Okpara Mine in Enugu State. The mining and production of coal were at its peak in the 1950s, but unfortunately, after the civil war, coal production in Nigeria declined drastically.
Coal mining in the Enugu area of Nigeria has generated a lot of mine waste that has been dumped in landfills and surface dumps chosen for convenience and proximity to the waste source rather than environmental, geologic or engineering considerations. Environmental degradation and groundwater contamination has resulted. Structural analysis of the area shows that the geological formations are

Coal mining quickly spurred the growth of the population of Enugu with the influx of miners. The total number of miners working in the region jumped from 6,000 men in 1948, to 8,000 men in 1958. The aftermath of the Iva Valley Massacre of 1949 played a prominent role
Mining of coal in Enugu really started in 1916 with the Ogbete mine and later other mines like the Ribadu, Onyeama and Okpara mines were opened up.

The purpose of this project is to determine the washabilty of Enugu coal for use in electricity generation in Nigeria. Coal samples, collected from Onyeama coal mine, were manually crushed and sized to obtain size fractions suitable for the project. SinkFloat analysis was carried out on crushed coal products having a size range of #181;m.
