Abstract

Field geologic mapping of the Area around Bakumba in Lokoja local government Area of Kogi state, Located Between Latitudes 07o53’N to 07o54’N of the equator and Longitude 06o39IE to 06o40’E of the greenwich meridian on the topographic map sheet 247 NE on a scale of 1:2500 reveals the occurrence of four major rock types including Granite gneiss, Biotite and Augen gneiss. The field relationship and petrographic studies of the rocks in the study area indicates that Granite gneiss, Augen gneiss, and Pegmatite are products of Polycyclic deformation episodes that affected the Nigerian Basement complex Between the Liberian to Pan African. While the geophysical investigation indicates that the study area comprises of seven geo electric layers underlain by gneiss/schist. The geophysical survey carried out along Agbaja road shows that aquiferous zone is suspected to be granite of different litho-facies.
