On the sidelines of the G-20 Summit in South Africa, Kaduna State leveraged the platform of the International Investment Forum on Solid Minerals to showcase its emerging position as a leading sub-national destination for sustainable mining and mineral-based industrial investments.
During the Forum, His Excellency, Governor Uba Sani made a presentation titled “Unlocking Kaduna’s Green Minerals Future”, highlighting the investment opportunities in mineral sector with a deliberate shift from raw extraction to value addition, local processing, and green industrialisation. He reaffirmed Kaduna’s commitment to creating a transparent, investor-friendly mining ecosystem anchored on strong public-private partnerships, which has already attracted over USD 2.1 billion in credible mining and processing investments.
Representing the State’s mining investment arm, the Kaduna Mining Development Company (KMDC), in collaboration with the Kaduna Investment Promotion Agency (KADIPA), facilitated the signing of five strategic Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with international partners.
These partnerships are expected to catalyse up to USD 3 billion in new mining investments, generate over 10,000 direct and indirect jobs, and contribute significantly to poverty reduction and inclusive growth over the next two years.
As the State’s designated investment promotion agency, KADIPA remains committed to driving investor engagement, facilitating project ex*****on, and providing aftercare support to ensure that these partnerships translate into bankable projects, jobs, and sustainable economic outcomes for the people of Kaduna State.
