Nigeria’s Mining Revolution is Here. For decades, Nigeria’s solid minerals sector remained a sleeping giant—rich in lithium, gold, limestone, bitumen, and rare earth metals, yet held back by illegal mining, insecurity, low processing capacity, and weak investor confidence. But under the Tinubu administration, that story is changing—fast. $2.6 billion in FDI attracted in just 30 months Lithium processing prioritized to meet global EV demand Strategic partnerships with the U.S., UK, and Saudi Arabia Shift from raw export to local beneficiation and refining Tinubu’s mining reforms are turning Nigeria into a critical minerals hub—and the world is taking notice. The future of our economy isn't just oil. It's lithium, gold, and grit.
