President Bola Tinubu has charged African Leaders in the Solid Minerals Sector to be patriotic and proactive in the management of the natural wealth of the continent and combat illegal exploitation.
President Tinubu gave the charge when he received a delegation of African Ministers of Solid Minerals under the auspices of the African Minerals Strategy Group (AMSG) led by the Chairman, Mr. Dele Alake, at the State House, Abuja.
President Tinubu urged the Ministers to defend Africa against illegal exploiters of the continent’s mineral resources.
In his remarks, Mr. Alake, who is the Minister of Solid Minerals, said the group was formed out of necessity and the realization of the divide-and-rule tactics that have weakened the negotiating power of African countries in the global market.
He explained that among the various international fora held to strategize on Solid Minerals in Africa, the one in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, early in the year brought up many issues, especially on the need for Africans to seize the opportunity that the global energy transition offers.
