From Raw Exports to Value Chains: Building Nigeria’s Mineral Beneficiation and Processing Strategy

Matrix Minerals Exploration and Mining Limited recently participated in the Freeside Chat session at the 2025 Nigeria Mining Week, where our Mining Director, Engr. Abdul Rafiu Badru, served as a panelist. The discussion focused on advancing Nigeria’s mineral beneficiation and processing strategy to promote industrial growth and economic diversification. Engr. Badru shared insights on strengthening the linkages between exploration, mining, processing, and value addition, in alignment with Africa’s Agenda 2063 vision for sustainable industrialization and intra-African trade. At Matrix Minerals, we remain committed to supporting initiatives that enhance value creation across Nigeria’s mineral sector and contribute to the nation’s long-term economic development.
