Nigeria uncovers massive lithium & rare earth deposits
The deposits of platinum group metals, lithium, rare earth elements, gold, nickel and copper in Kaduna State, verified by the country’s Geological Survey Agency, are described as one of Nigeria’s biggest mining breakthroughs by local media reports.
🔸New rules require companies to process more minerals inside Nigeria instead of exporting raw materials, spurring investments into refining projects, including an $800M lithium facility
🔸Nigeria’s mining sector revenue has surged dramatically — from ~ $4.4M pre-reforms to over ~$51.3M by end of 2025
🔸The government has revoked over 3,000 inactive mining titles to restore transparency and ensure only serious operators develop these assets, says Minister of Solid Minerals Development Dele Alake
The exceptionally high-grade deposits come as the federal government pulls out all the stops to transform Nigeria’s mining sector into an industrial powerhouse that drives real economic growth.

My reservations about state police have not changed. I just hope we are not creating another State Independent Electoral Commission in a different form.
Given our political realities, it is difficult to trust the average Nigerian governor not to turn state police into a personal tool for harassment, intimidation, and settling political scores.
I sincerely hope the future proves me wrong.
I am Tomori.
A Nigerian court, the Federal High Court, Lagos, ordered the Police to pay my medical bill after they shot me.
They totally ignored and kept silent.
For 10 years.
If the institution meant to protect you can shoot you, cripple you, turn you into a disabled person, and ignore a court order.
Who is protecting your human rights?
