| The Agbada Formation underlies the Benin Formation and consists primarily of sand and shale, and is of fluviomarine origin. |
| Geologically, the study area comprises of alluvium, sandy clay, silt and fluviomarine sediments. |
| Fluviomarine areas are promising for development of new paddy fields if fragile soil properties, natural water logging and tidal behaviors receive strategic management to avoid environmental degradation. |
