The Nigerian government has lifted a five-year ban on mining exploration in Zamfara State, citing enhanced security measures. The region, rich in gold, lithium, and copper deposits, is expected to significantly boost its contribution to the national revenue. This move aligns with Nigeria’s broader strategy to diversify its economy beyond oil, introducing reforms such as revoking unused licenses and offering investors a 75% stake in a new national mining company. Additionally, Nigeria has entered into a training and development agreement with France to bolster its mining sector capabilities.
纳萨拉瓦州政府严厉打击非法锂矿开采

尼日利亚批准首个浮式液化天然气工厂用于出口和国内使用
尼日利亚已向UTM Offshore Limited公司颁发首个浮式液化天然气（LNG）工厂许可证，这是一个里程碑式的进展。该工厂旨在收集和利用埃克森美孚公司位于尼日尔三角洲油田的天然气燃烧排放，解决该国严重的天然气燃烧问题，该问题每年造成超过10亿美元的收入损失。该工厂将为国内市场生产50万吨液化石油气（LPG），其余部分将以液化天然气（LNG）的形式出口。工程阶段预计将于2028年完工，并于2029年初投产。
尼日利亚在安全局势改善的情况下恢复赞法拉州采矿业
