The Northern group, Arewa Think Tank (ATT) has wholeheartedly commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration for its groundbreaking initiatives in the solid minerals sector, particularly the lithium revolution.

A statement by the Convener of Arewa Think Tank, Muhammad Alhaji Yakubu said this bold move marks a significant shift in Nigeria’s economic trajectory, ensuring that the natural resources are harnessed for the benefit of the people.

“The establishment of Nigeria’s first lithium processing plant in Nasarawa State, along with several other factories across the country, demonstrates President Tinubu’s administration’s commitment to value addition and local beneficiation.

“This strategic approach will not only generate substantial revenue for the nation but also create thousands of jobs, stimulate economic growth, and empower local communities.

‘We applaud President Tinubu’s leadership in banning the export of unprocessed lithium, a decision that underscores his determination to break the cycle of economic dependency and exploitation.

“By insisting on local processing and value addition, we are poised to reap the full benefits of our mineral wealth.

“The Arewa Think Tank also recognises the pivotal role of the Minister of Solid Minerals Development, Henry Dele Alake, in driving this revolution. His tireless efforts to bring transparency, structure, and discipline to the sector have been instrumental in attracting investments and ensuring the successful implementation of the administration’s policies.

“As we move forward, we urge all stakeholders to continue supporting this visionary initiative. Together, we can build a prosperous future for Nigeria, one that is driven by our own resources, ingenuity, and resilience”. The statement said.

I just keep laughing at the myopic sensibility of many Nigerians.

We are still repeating the mistakes done in the petroleum sector.

Why would any sane government/administration mine such raw materials and export it and then Nigerians will purchase finished products of such ?

Is that how sensible and educated leaders at all levels behave?
So not one person could call themselves to correction!!!

okeke6969:
You can see those myopic individuals up their applauding the move.
Selling every raw material available is a move in the right direction for them.

DeltaOil:
Why won't they dig up the lithium in Nasarawa State and process it in the Niger Delta , as they take our oil to Lagos & Kaduna?

Godjone:
Just seeking for endorsement at all cost from the north. Tinubu must go

PrincessDiana:
Which lithium initiative? Something that was PMB's project!
I wonder how some Nigerians sleep at night peddling falsehood.

These bitter people, go school you said No. Something written in simple English is even too difficult for you to read and understand, everything na ontop wailing and bitterness.









Weldone o, Lithium is PMB's project, you should have even said it was Buhari that created Lithium, maybe Buhari also created Gold and other mineral resources in the country 🤣🤣. So a Govt cannot come and have its own initiatives in every sector?. Take for instance, this initiative of banning exportation of raw lithium, was it Buhari's initiative?. Park well abeg.
