Shettima Advocates for Local Processing of Minerals at UNGA
During the 81st Session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, Vice President Kashim Shettima called on African countries to end the export of raw minerals and instead prioritize local processing, manufacturing, and value addition. He emphasized the need for stronger cooperation among African nations to ensure that the continent derives greater economic value from its abundant mineral resources.
Shettima's remarks were part of discussions on Africa's critical minerals sector, where he advocated for the development of local capacity across the critical minerals value chain. The Nigerian government is actively promoting this initiative to enhance economic development and sustainability within the region.
