The mining of minerals in Nigeria accounts for only 0.3% of its gross domestic product,due to the influence of its vast oil resources. The domestic mining industry is underdeveloped,leading to Nigeria having to import minerals that it could produce domestically,such as salt or iron ore. The rights to ownership of mineral resources is held by the Federal Government of Nigeria,which grants titles to organizations to explore,mine,and sell mineral resources. Organized mining began in 1903,when the Mineral Survey of the Northern Protectorates was created by the British colonial government. A year later,the Mineral Survey of the Southern Protectorates was founded. By the 1940s,Nigeria was a major producer of tin,columbite,and coal. The discovery of oil in 1956 hurt the mineral extraction industries,as government and industry both began to focus on this new resource. The Nigerian Civil War in the late 1960s led many expatriate mining experts to leave the country. Mining regulation is handled by the Ministry of Solid Minerals Development,who are tasked with the responsibility of overseeing the management of all mineral resources in Nigeria. Mining law is codified in the Federal Minerals and Mining Act of 1999. Historically,Nigeria's mining industry was monopolized by state-owned public corporations. This led to a decline in productivity in almost all mineral industries. The Obasanjo administration began a process of selling off government-owned corporations to private investors in 1999. The Nigerian Mining Industry has picked up since the "Economic Diversification Agenda",from Oil &Gas,to Agriculture,Mining,etc.,began in the country.
