If it's FG attracted investment YES but if na kaduna state attract them come the NO the money is kaduna own alone with little share to FG

What an achievement for Nigeria as we may start producing nuclear warheads. However, the location of this facility in bandits and BH ebclave is a big negative.

As usual, it will be for Kaduna people while oyel will be for Nigeria!
Modified:

Where was oyel mostly found before Buhari included northerners in their board

Una hypocrisy smell to the highest heavens

COMPAQ:


Most American companies will struggle to do business in Nigeria because of the restrictions their governments put in for how they conduct business in fantastically corrupt countries like Nigeria.

The Chinese on the other hand have no issues with settling. Reality is even me as a Nigerian I will struggle to choose Nigeria over Rwanda,SA, Namibia,Botswana etc for a plant. Nigeria issues are just too many. Let me lost them for your:

Massive bureaucracy.
Inefficient ports
Corrupt police
Bad roads
Organized crime
Incompetent government
Policy flip flop
Poor workforce
Low productivity
And many more

Forget about propaganda, wherever there's a massive amount of natural resources, investors would definitely come in with huge dollars, irrespective of banditry or skirmishes of terrorism in the area. SE cannot boast of half the FDI going into other regions, considering the height of Ipob terrorism that has blighted the region. If SE had any resources to boost, foreign investors would have been interested in the region.. Just an honest observation.

That's awesome Naptu2, value-addition is the way to maximize the true potentials of lithium and other valuable industrial minerals in the light of IMF's projection that one-third of the the countries of the world will experience full-blown recession in 2023.


NOTE: However, the tweet indicates that the lithium processing plant is located in Jos NOT Kaduna as indicated in your thread title and the NL front page.

Have a great weekend!

may God punish you.

All of the mention above doesn't stop Tesla from mining and processing lithium locally same way it didn't stop them from selling their starlink in Nigeria

Despite all your mention Nigeria is the biggest partner to the US in the whole of Africa same with it friends in all other continents this warranting freedom for any of it companies to invest here at their calculated own risk.

Mararaban Jos is a district in Kaduna.

Don’t be blind, is it only bridges he built in all of his projects.
What about health care centers and roads networks in suburbs of rivers state among other's.
Derivations funds was paid by fg, he declared it , other's in South South hid it to loot.

See the positives and deal with the negatives

Kfed4ril:


What I want to know is if the lithium mining is under the Federal Government or Kaduna state government?

There is a lesson in this thread, but if you search through Twitter and check the thread, you'll notice that many people have not learnt the lesson.


First Lithium Processing Plant In Nigeria Under Construction In Kaduna.
https://www.nairaland.com/7523789/first-lithium-processing-plant-nigeria


This is the lesson:

There are many sectors in Nigeria that are in the exclusive list in the constitution. This means that they are the exclusive preserve of the Federal Government. For a long time many people assumed that this means that state governments cannot get involved in these sectors, but that is not true.

Bola Tinubu constantly demonstrated this when he was governor. There are many things that people assumed were only reserved for the Federal Government, but his government got involved in those things. Power generation, port construction, airport construction, refinery, etc.

You see, all the state government needs to do is to bring in a private/foreign company to invest in the sector and then they need to get a license from the Federal Government. The Federal Government wants to make money and they want development, so they will go along with the project (although in some rare cases they might sabotage the project, just like the AES Barge power project in Lagos).


Some people are asking why the oil in Rivers is for Nigeria while the lithium in Kaduna is for Kaduna. Well, read this article, the chairman of the Kaduna Internal Revenue Service stated clearly that mining is on the exclusive list and the only way that Kaduna State can take part in mining lithium is to set up a mining company and get a license from the Federal Government. Has the Rivers State Government set up an oil company and applied to get mining licenses from the Federal Government?

This issue keeps coming up every time and the answer is always the same. People asked the same question when it was announced that a gold refinery was being established in Osun and the answer then was exactly the same.
