Degradation Of Northen Nigeria Due To Mining Activities
The annual rate of deforestation of the woodlands averaged 3.5 percent, for northern Nigeria alone, the annual deforestation of woodlands runs to about 92,000 hectares, while the whole country consumesLack of funds to remediate environmental degradation due to past mining activities.

Perception of the Environmental Degradation of Gold Mining
Mining has a number of common stages or activities, each of which has potentially-adverse impacts on the natural environment, society, cultural heritage, health and safety of mine workers and that of communities in close proximity to mining ope rations (Moody et al., 1997). As indicated by Noronha (2001), the social and environmental
