Nigeria: Tinubu's Mining Reforms Attract $800m Foreign Investment, Say Alake

  • Minister Dele Alake announced that Nigeria's solid minerals sector generated ₦38 billion in revenue in 2024 amid growing foreign investment.
  • This growth followed President Tinubu's reforms focusing on local value addition and stricter licensing to halt raw mineral exports.
  • Key developments include a $600 million lithium plant near Kaduna, a $200 million refinery near Abuja, and over 10,000 license applications in early 2025.
  • The sector attracted more than $800 million in processing investments last year, while enforcement actions arrested over 300 illegal miners with ongoing prosecutions.
  • Despite underfunding, the sector shows potential as a pillar of economic diversification, though security risks and funding gaps could affect future growth.
