Miners seek improved security to attract investment

The Miners Association of Nigeria has highlighted insecurity and regulatory confusion as major obstacles preventing investment in the country's solid minerals sector. At the 11th Nigeria Mining Week in Abuja, association president Oba Ayandele Ayanleke called for stronger partnerships, predictable regulations, safer mining operations, and local processing of minerals to unlock the sector's economic potential.

Ayanleke emphasized that addressing these challenges could attract both local and international investment, transforming the industry and diversifying Nigeria's economy.
