Why US-Nigeria mining deal was cancelled – US firm

A lobbying and advisory firm based in Washington has revealed that the US-Nigeria mining deal has been cancelled due to President Bola Tinubu's efforts to secure a meeting with US President Donald Trump. The firm, Von Batten-Montague-York, stated that the proposed mining Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was one of the proposals offered by Tinubu in exchange for a meeting with President Trump.

The firm claimed that the cancellation of the signing at the UN resulted in President Tinubu staying in France instead, while President Trump signed other agreements at the UN. According to the firm, the US obtained the mines, but Tinubu received no meeting.
