As Nigeria’s oil reserves begin to dwindle after decades of drilling for crude, the West African country is shifting its attention to another valuable resource – lithium. There is a growing global demand for the “white gold”, which is needed to produce batteries for electrical appliances, electric vehicles and renewable energy storage. There are thought to be significant lithium resources in Nigeria, but the country’s mining industry is currently underdeveloped.
The processing facility is expected to provide $500 million in revenue and continue production for between 15 and 20 years. In 2023, Nigeria tightened rules on lithium mining across the country after several foreign companies showed significant interest in the industry. The government announced that no foreign company would be permitted to mine and export raw lithium unless they establish processing and refining plants in Nigeria.
