The results of field investigations on the Niger River (Nigeria) near Ajaokuta  performed in 1978-79 by the teams of  Moscow State University, Geographical faculty and of Applied and Scientific Institute for the Constructions (Russia) . The research aimed the support of water intake constructions of the steel plant.
