THE Federal Government has launched a solid minerals resource support system for investors and potential investors in Nigeria and throughout the world.
During the launch event, the Minister of Solid Minerals Development, Dele Alake expressed his delight with the action, noting that the support system will make it easier to do business in the solid minerals sector.
He added that the portal was designed to provide investors and prospective investors with all of the information they needed to make informed investment decisions.
Alake also stated that his administration is now developing a financial capacity programme for local investors that do not have the resources to fully commit to mineral exploration in Nigeria.
He recommended investors to contact the ministry through the Solid Minerals Development Fund.
Alake discussed the state of the nation, noting that President Tinubu’s first year in office will be a testament to his ambitious aspirations for Nigeria.
