The World Bank has signed a deal with the Federal Government worth $124 million for the exploration of industrial minerals in Nigeria.
This was disclosed by Consultant, Vitor Carrieia at the unveiling of Industrial Minerals Roadmap in Abuja.
Carrieia says Nigerians do not need to import these minerals that they will explore areas to use and support the drive in the country.
The Minister of State for Mines and Steel Development, Abubakar Bwari said the deal will help industries such as manufacturing, construction, agriculture and boost inter-sector linkages and import substitution.
May God protect us.
