African leaders, led by Nigeria, demand control over mineral resources to boost domestic processing and industrialization at the UN General Assembly.
At the 80th UN General Assembly, Nigeria’s President Bola Tinubu, represented by Vice President Kashim Shettima, urged African nations to take control of their mineral resources by ending raw exports and investing in domestic processing, green manufacturing, and industrialization.
He called for collective action to climb the global value chain, establish African-owned geological data systems, expand government-led exploration, and use innovative financing tools like the Africa Mineral Token.
Tinubu praised several countries for banning raw mineral exports and affirmed Nigeria’s leadership in advancing a unified, self-reliant mineral economy under its Renewed Hope Agenda.
African leaders also pushed for UN Security Council reform, increased funding for peace operations, and greater equity in the global energy transition.
