About Nigerian Mining Cadastral Office
The Nigerian Mining Cadastre Office (NMCO) came into being following the Federal Government’s Mining Sector reform programme which was implemented by Ministry of Mines and Steel Development in collaboration with the World Bank Sustainable Management of Mineral Resources Project.

The NMCO, which became an autonomous Agency of Government, as provided by section 5(1) of the Nigerian Minerals and Mining Act, (2007), is responsible for the management and administration of mineral titles, considered to be the cornerstone of a secure mineral rights system.
