ABSTRACT
There are large areas of Nigeria and probably of West Africa
that have never been visited or studied by a geologist or
geophysicist. Not so in the region surrounding the Benue
Trough. This area has repeatedly attracted a lot of attention
in the past, and with the advent of plate tectonics the available
geological and geophysical data from the region have
been interpreted in various ways to suit different tectonic
models. No attempt is made here to review the relevant
published work on the geology and geophysics of the Benue
Trough. Rather it is intended - by the formulation of
several questions related to existing ideas and plate tectonic
models for the region - to illuminate the required areas of
research and investigation most necessary towards a better
understanding of the evolution and origin of the trough and
its environs.
