Kaduna State Invests $300mln to Boost Solid Minerals Sector
In a statement Saturday via his X page governor of Kaduna State, Senator Uba Sani announced that the state government is in discussions with Atlantic Mining Techniques Limited regarding the establishment of a $300 million investment in the state’s solid minerals industry.
According to him, the deal would unlock the vast mining potential of Kaduna State, thereby boosting the state’s economy.
He said his discussions with Mr. Colin Ikin, Managing Director of Atlantic Mining Techniques Limited focused on unlocking the vast potential of Kaduna State’s mining sector.
The governor emphasized that this latest investment initiative builds on his government’s recent milestone of setting up one of the first lithium processing plants in Nigeria.
He added that “Kaduna State remains open and welcoming to both local and international investors” encompassing “comprehensive suite of investment-friendly incentives-combined with our unwavering commitment to security and ease of doing business-positions Kaduna as a prime destination for sustainable investments,” he concluded.
The state government is taking right steps with the hope of making the resources available for common good. The government’s involvement will also check banditry and other criminals that are fighting to control the resources.
