Nigeria’s $34bn Lithium Wealth Mined Mainly by Foreign Firms

Nigeria's vast lithium deposits, valued at over $34 billion, are primarily being exploited by foreign companies, sidelining local investors from the booming global market. Lithium is a critical mineral for electric vehicle batteries and renewable energy storage, with the global industry generating an estimated $92 billion in annual revenue. Despite significant deposits across states like Nasarawa, Kaduna, and Kogi, Chinese firms like Avatar and Ganfeng have taken the lead, establishing large processing facilities and exporting the raw mineral. Industry experts warn that Nigeria is missing out on major economic benefits. They cite a lack of local capacity, high investment risks, insecurity in mining regions, and insufficient government support as key reasons why Nigerian investors are not participating significantly. The Miners Association of Nigeria has urged the government to provide incentives for local investors and ensure foreign companies are not allowed […]

Zamfara Mining Pit Collapse Traps Several Miners

The Zamfara State Emergency Management Agency (ZSEMA) has confirmed the collapse of mining pits in Kadauri community, Maru Local Government Area, trapping several artisanal miners.

Bala Ahmad, told reporters in Gusau on Friday that he was in a meeting with stakeholders to assess the situation and would provide more details later. Community leaders said many miners were still trapped, though the exact number of victims remains unknown. Some injured survivors have been taken to Maru General Hospital for treatment.

Two Killed, Three Injured in Ebonyi Mining Pit Collapse

A mining accident at Ajirija lead site in Ihietutu, Ishiagu, Ivo Local Government Area of Ebonyi State, has claimed the lives of two miners and left three others critically injured. The incident, which occurred over the weekend, involved a pit reportedly managed by Mrs. Lovelyn Victor, an indigene of the community. The site itself is owned by Henry Ahanaotu, who allegedly leased portions of it to unlicensed small-scale miners operating without professional oversight. A community source, who preferred anonymity, described the tragedy as part of a recurring pattern of unsafe mining practices in the area. He recalled a similar collapse earlier this year that killed two people and injured several others, lamenting the lack of accountability for operators and site owners. In his reaction, Ahanaotu expressed sympathy over the deaths but defended his decision to sublet the lease, saying it […]
