Abstract

Basement rocks of the Dungulbi area of Northeastern Nigeria were assessed and found to
comprise of Pre-Cambrian basement rocks invaded by Pan-African granites generally referred
to as the ‘Older Granites’. The area was composed mainly of Migmatite gneiss, granite gneisses
and calc-alkaline granites. The tectonic structures in the study area trend mostly NE – SW and
subordinately NW-SE and N-S conform with the regional deformational structures which
occurred during the Pan African thermotectonic events in the Nigerian basement.
