Tinubu: There’s Urgent Need to End Unfair Exploitation of Africa’s Critical Minerals

President Bola Tinubu has emphasized the urgent need to combat the unfair exploitation of Africa's critical minerals, highlighting the continent's significant lithium reserves. He called on African nations to unite in addressing the imbalanced extraction practices that undermine local benefits. This push comes as mining firms estimate the discovery of 3.3 million metric tons of lithium in Abuja, underscoring the strategic importance of these resources. The call to action reflects broader concerns about equitable resource management and the potential for sustainable economic development across Africa.
