Nigeria and Türkiye have signed a new agreement aimed at strengthening bilateral cooperation in the solid minerals sector as both countries seek to deepen investment, technology transfer, and mining development.
The agreement is expected to enhance collaboration in mineral exploration, mining operations, technical expertise, and capacity building within Nigeria’s solid minerals industry.
Officials say the partnership will also open opportunities for increased foreign investment and improved access to modern mining technologies that could support the growth and formalisation of the sector.
Stakeholders note that Nigeria’s solid minerals industry holds significant untapped potential, with resources including gold, lithium, limestone, tin, and other strategic minerals considered important for industrial and technological development.
The collaboration with Türkiye is expected to contribute to ongoing efforts by the Nigerian government to diversify the economy away from oil dependency and expand revenue generation through mining and mineral exports.
Analysts say international partnerships focused on technology transfer and infrastructure development could help improve productivity, regulatory standards, and value addition within the country’s mining sector.
The agreement also reflects growing economic and diplomatic ties between Nigeria and Türkiye across trade, investment, infrastructure, and industrial development.
