Advocacy firm Von Batten-Montague-York has urged the Trump administration to publish the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between the United States and Nigeria regarding critical minerals. The firm's X post argues that transparency is needed to combat allegations of corruption surrounding the agreement. They claim the US's integrity hangs in the balance as Democrats plan to investigate critical-minerals deals negotiated by the Trump administration.
The MoU, signed on September 24 in New York, covers geological data, exploration, mineral development, processing, infrastructure, and technical capacity. Von Batten-Montague-York warns that accusations of a "pay-to-play" arrangement and the deaths of 37 suspected illegal miners under the NSCDC custody in Niger State are concerns that must be addressed.
