Plausibility that a Continuous West-East Trending Fault Traverses the 12th Cross-Profile at the Southern Half of the 8 km2 Phase II Development, Gidan Kwano Campus, Minna, Nigeria
Author(s): Jonah SA*
The recognisable faulting regime at the southern half of the 8 km2 Phase II Development, Gidan Kwano Campus, is the vestigial northeast-southwest cross-country lineament that defines the Kazaure-Karaukarau-Kushaka-Ilesha Schist Belt. This belt of schist lithology of circa 800 m width and some 700 km length is “sandwiched” between a dominant granite mass to the northwest and southeast with some prominent showing of gneissic rock-mass at this southeast plain. A route of inquiry as part of the endeavour to create a purpose-specific corpus of geo-centric information for the Phase II Development leads to the question of the presence of continuous east-west or west-east faulting regimes as subordinate zones of permeation within the main NE-SW-trending lineament. The aforementioned “route of inquiry” centred on validating the conclusion drawn with respect to the h.. Read More»
