The Nigerian Geological Survey Agency is a parastatal under the Ministry of Mines and Steel Development. The Agency has the statutory role of providing relevant and up-to-date geosciences information necessary for economic development of Nigeria. This is accomplished through a systematic process of gathering, collating, assessment and dissemination of all information related to rocks, minerals and groundwater resources of the country.
The Agency was established by Nigerian Geological Survey Establishment Act 2006. Its earliest precursor the Geological Survey of Nigeria (GSN), was set up in 1919 following the amalgamation of the Mineral Survey of Northern and Southern Nigeria in 1909 and 1913, respectively.
