The plot follows three characters, Geologist, Dr Doofan Adasu, Businessman Ibrahim Shagari, and Environmentalist, Ifeoma Nwosu, as they navigate power politics, corporate interests and environmental pollution challenges in the fight to ensure resource management, community empowerment, and deal with the human cost of development.

Each episode will build upon the previous in order to sustain drama and educational impact on the targeted audience aged 13 to 45 years.

Co-writer and Sutoritera founder, Garuba said the choice to premiere on NTA lies in the widespread reach of the local television station across the country, in both urban and rural areas, which meets the project’s objective to engage its targeted demographic on solid minerals.
