” We intend to pursue the policy of making the necessary resources available to the agency to expand these stations to other parts of the country. Nature cannot be second guessed, neither can we predetermine with scientific exactitude when natural disasters will occur, but we can estimate when such incidence will occur and that will assist the nation in making contingency arrangements to mitigate the adverse effect of such disasters on the populace”, Alake asserted.

Whilst congratulating NGSA and hailing its collaboration with the University of Abuja which culminated in the new station, the Minister noted that the facility signposts the present administration’s commitment to safeguarding lives and properties and ensuring the well being of citizens.

In his remarks, the Director-General of NGSA, Abdulrasak Garba revealed that with the equipment in the Katampe station, the agency can categorise movement and levels of tremors which would enable it alert relevant disaster management agencies about the potential of having a certain magnitude of earth tremors or earthquakes in Abuja and some parts of the country.

” Though we all know that Nigeria is not in an area that is susceptible to earthquakes but recent tremors in parts of the country show that there is a potential for Nigeria to have earthquakes. There have been incidences of low seismicity in parts of the country like Mpape, Maitama in Abuja, some parts of Kwara, Kaduna, and Saki in Oyo state. Therefore, the need to establish a network of active seismic monitoring stations to bolster our nation’s preparedness to manage any impending disaster can not be overemphasised, “Dr. Abdulrasak added.

The Nigeria Geological Survey Agency (NGSA) is an agency under the Ministry of Solid Minerals Development with the mandate for providing relevant and up-to-date geological data necessary for development of the mining industry and the nation’s economy.
