Africa’s Minerals Can Power Global Market – Tinubu at UNGA
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has urged global leaders to channel greater investments into Africa’s mineral resources, stressing that such partnerships will not only diversify international supply chains but also promote peace and stability.
Speaking on Wednesday at the 80th Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York, Tinubu highlighted Nigeria’s and Africa’s vast reserves of critical minerals essential for future technologies. He argued that resource-rich countries must benefit more meaningfully from their natural endowments through investment, job creation, and local processing.

Tinubu cautioned that the continued export of raw materials without added value has fueled inequality, instability, and competition among major powers.
“Africa—Nigeria included—holds abundant critical minerals that will drive the technologies of tomorrow,” he said. “Investing in exploration, development, and processing on the continent will diversify global supply, ease tensions between leading economies, and lay the foundation for peace and prosperity.”
