Nigeria's President Bola Tinubu will preside over a high-level summit in New York next month aimed at preventing Africa's valuable minerals from being exported primarily as raw materials. The Africa Minerals Strategy Group (AMSG) will convene the Third High-Level Roundtable on Critical Minerals Development in Africa on September 21, 2026, on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
The gathering will bring together African leaders, government representatives, ministers, global investors, development finance institutions, multilateral organizations, and executives from mining, technology, and logistics firms. The summit, themed "From Resources to Wealth: Continental Cooperation for Mineral Value Addition," aims to shift Africa's approach from extracting and exporting raw minerals to building integrated mineral value chains.
The AMSG emphasizes Africa's potential to secure a larger share of the economic value generated from its mineral resources by moving towards processing, manufacturing, and integration of mineral value chains.
