Nigeria and France have recently reinforced their collaboration in mining and infrastructure development as part of broader economic diversification efforts.
President Bola Tinubu’s administration is advancing reforms in Nigeria’s mining sector to attract global investments and reduce reliance on oil.
These reforms have created significant opportunities for international partnerships, including with French companies, in tapping into Nigeria’s vast $700 billion mining potential.
The agreements between the two nations, totaling over €300 million
According to a statement by the Special Assistant on Media to the Minister, Segun Tomori, on Sunday, the agreement will open new opportunities for the remediation of over 2000 abandoned pits in the country.
In the Memorandum of Understanding signed by both countries on the sidelines of the official visit of Tinubu to France, both countries agreed to collaborate on research, training and Franco-Nigerian students exchanges for knowledge and skills transfer.
