  Both tapped and untapped littered across every states of the Nation are all sorts of resources. Crude oil is the most pronounced and accounts for about 35% of gross domestic product, which makes Nigeria one of the most wealthiest countries in Africa. But others abound in their abundance which as the global oil market is taking a plunge we can decide to shift our attention to.
