“The government will continue to ensure a good business environment for investors to invest in the sector by ensuring policy consistency and adequate security.

“Nigeria is known for its oil and gas, which is a fraction of its blessed natural resources, and there is a need for Nigeria and Africa to diversify and develop other sectors to harness their potentials.”

In his remarks, Minister of Solid Minerals Development, Oladele Alake, said: “The mining industry is undergoing a technological revolution, and Nigeria is not left behind in embracing these innovations. We recognise the importance of incorporating cutting-edge technology into our mining operations to enhance efficiency, safety, and environmental sustainability. From drone-based surveying to remote-sensing technology, we actively explore avenues to modernise our mining practices.

“Furthermore, we are collaborating with research institutions and industry experts to develop innovative mineral exploration and extraction solutions. On a recent visit to Australia to attend the Africa Down Under Conference, our engagements led to an understanding with the government to train our geologists in modern mining practices.
