Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State has announced ongoing discussions with Atlantic Mining Techniques Limited on a proposed $300 million investment in the state’s solid minerals sector. The governor disclosed this via a statement on his X page on Saturday, following a meeting with the company’s Managing Director, Mr. Colin Ikin.
“Our discussions centered on unlocking the vast potential of Kaduna State’s mining sector, with particular focus on the establishment of a $300 million investment in our solid minerals industry,” Sani stated.
He said the initiative builds on Kaduna’s recent milestone of hosting one of Nigeria’s first lithium processing plants. He added that the state is home to “Nigeria’s highest-grade solid mineral deposits.”
“This represents a major step toward value addition, job creation, and economic diversification,” he noted.
Sani reaffirmed Kaduna’s openness to investors and pledged strong support for all ventures that drive inclusive prosperity and sustainable growth.
