Cowpea husks which are an abundant agro waste in Sub Sahara Africa were collected, dried and grinded. The elemental
composition and surface morphology were investigated with Energy Dispersive X-ray Microanalysis and Scanning
Electron Microscope (SEM) respectively. The husks contain C, O, Al, Si, K and Ca. The husks have the potential to be
processed to other valuable materials which can be applied in construction, electronic and other industries.
