According to the Nigeria Mining Growth Roadmap, the country’s gold reserve is estimated at 200 million metric tons, and Trading Economics placed Nigeria as the sixth largest country with gold deposits in Africa, with an average of 21.46 tonnes since 2000 to 2019 and reaching an all-time high of 21.51 tonnes in July 2019.

Buhari-Osinbajo-led administration will never be forgotten in the book of history. They made gold reserve happen. Thank you sirs.

This is highly commendable. It will help the strength and growth of the Nigerian economy and also help our foreign earnings. It will help our over reliant attitude on crude oil thereby making way for diversification.
