🇧🇫 THIS IS HUGE!!! Burkina Faso’s first domestically refined gold bar
President Ibrahim Traoré holds the first gold bar produced and refined entirely in Burkina Faso following the inauguration of RAFFINOR-BF, the country’s first national gold refinery.
For decades, Burkina Faso exported its gold for refining abroad. Now the country intends to keep the refining, certification and added value at home.
Traoré:
“Our ambition is no longer to simply be a country that extracts and takes its raw materials abroad. We want to refine all our metals here.”
The refinery can initially process 164 tonnes of gold annually, with plans to expand capacity further.
Burkina Faso continues to assert its sovereignty over its land and natural resources. You love to see it!
Burkina Faso inaugurated its first-ever gold refinery, with President Ibrahim Traore saying the country wanted to process its mineral resources locally and take control of the entire value chain
Diaspora Nigerians, na me first beg una before Thursday.
There’s nothing to be celebrating Nigeria for abroad. Please go to work and make your pay. If you want to do any parade, let it be a protest against bad governance.
Ibrahim Traoré picked up where Muammar Gaddafi left off.
He is fighting fearlessly for African sovereignty, independence and self-determination.
Africa needs leaders who refuse to bow to foreign powers. 🇧🇫✊🏿
Yakubu Gowon really said;
“Nigeria has so much money, we don’t know what to do with it.”
That statement alone puts into perspective the kind of leaders we’ve always had in this country.
