This partnership is crucial to ensure that sub-nationals and communities through the MIREMCO monitor compliance with environmental and social standards, \u201cthe minister added.<\/p>\n<p>On the international stage, Alake revealed that Nigeria\u2019s advocacy for local value addition has led to the formation of the African Minerals Strategy Group (AMSG), where he was unanimously elected as the inaugural chairman. He emphasized that most African nations have embraced the idea that mineral extraction should include processing to maximize benefits for citizens.<\/p>\n<p>Charging Course 33 participants to lead the way in fostering attitudinal change in the country, Dr. Alake stressed that until citizens embrace the right mindset of putting the nation first, above personal or primordial considerations, transforming the country will remain an uphill task.<\/p>\n<p>In response to participants\u2019 inquiries during a panel session, the Minister affirmed that transforming the mining sector into a significant contributor to the nation\u2019s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) will be a viable legacy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Tinubu&#8217;s administration&#8217;s reforms have refocused global attention on Nigeria&#8217;s mining sector, establishing the country as Africa&#8217;s premier mining destination Dele Alake, Minister of Solid Minerals Development, has reaffirmed the Federal Government&#8217;s commitment to repositioning the mining sector as a major revenue generator for the country.
