Abstract

The proposed project will meet the developmental needs of the surrounding community without causing any negative influence on the environment. The establishment of granite quarry in Gidan Tagwaye will pose a positive impact on the socio-economics of the area and lead to overall sustainable development of the region. The study establishes the two major important costs; the capital cost which is put at N 456, 203,000 and the operating cost which is put at N 64.049,205. The equipment necessary for the take-off of the quarry and the number of staffs which will be required to run activities in the quarry to make production possible were determined. Furthermore, the cash flow analysis for a period of ten years was carried out at the production rate of 72,533m³ at the first year and the profit at the tenth year was put as N225, 863,959.
