Nigeria Can Provide High-grade Lithium For Clean Energy 

President Tinubu explained that Nigeria was well-positioned to power the clean energy future of Europe and the world with its high-grade lithium deposits.

Tinubu said Nigeria offers opportunities across a pool of sectors and his administration is deepening reforms to enhance the investment climate.

He said Nigeria seeks robust, balanced, and mutually beneficial partnerships that will bring about value-addition in areas like solid minerals.

“Taking a holistic view of the world order, there is a tremendous opportunity between us across trade spheres but especially in solid minerals.

We have high-grade lithium deposits that we know can power the clean energy future of the world.

There is excellent value-additive opportunity in Nigeria. The world knows us for oil. They will soon know us for greater innovative exploits in other areas.

We Are A Better Nigeria For Our Youths

“If our young people know they can achieve a good future in Nigeria, they will stay at home and build our nation to greatness.

Lawful migration of trained Nigerian minds and hands will benefit Europe, and irregular migration will no longer be a source of fear in Europe if we partner effectively.

“This is what we want and it is why we are adamant about providing student loans and new credit opportunities to enhance the skills of our people.

Moreso, we intend to ensure that they can access a higher quality of life within their legitimate incomes.

Our economic reforms will transform our economy, and our young people will be the reason why,” the President stated.

We have gone through the worst of the storms.

I am unafraid of the consequences once I know that my actions are in the best long-term interests of all Nigerians.
