The National Mining Summit, running alongside ConMin West Africa exhibition, previously slated for April has been rescheduled to hold from June 13 to 15 at the International Conference Centre Abuja.
The change was due to the recently announced planned closure of Abuja’s airport in March.
Also, with a large proportion of attendees and speakers travelling from Lagos and internationally, it is believed that the event cannot be run without use of the airport.
ConMin West Africa, is an Exhibition to service the rapidly growing construction machinery and mining industries in West Africa.
The event will act as a platform for key stakeholders, both regional and international to converge and discuss business prospects, while also displaying leading technologies and equipment in both the construction and mining sectors.
ConMin West Africa 2017 is expected to attract over 150 companies and 3000 visitors from the West African Mining and Construction sectors.
Top government personalities including the Honourable Minister would open the show, Afrocet Montgomery is also expecting governors from key mining states; Ministers from other West African countries, Partners from leading law firms and key financiers including the African Finance Corporation.
Topics to be addressed at the Summit will cover all pertinent issues facing the sector and will seek to stimulate interest from international and national investors through clarification of policy and industry developments by principle stakeholders and decision makers.
Due to the important position it occupies economically, the mineral and mining sector has been voted as a relevant platform for job creation, poverty alleviation and wealth creation.
But, the sector is challenged by some unfavourable conditions with regards to access to funding, inadequate geological data and skilled labour, Afrocet stated.
The Summit is therefore designed to accommodate sessions from experts and government representatives confronting these issues head on thereby acting as a knowledge sharing platform.
The summit will host sessions on ‘lessons learned’ from Ministers and Operators from other African nations which are further ahead in their mineral sector development.
It is expected to be a strong platform to encourage investment into the country and is set to become the preferred deal-making platform for mining in Nigeria.
