The Kaduna State Government has affirmed its readiness to participate in the forthcoming Africa Raw Materials Summit, scheduled to hold from May 20th to 22nd, 2025 at the Continental Hotel, Abuja. The announcement was made during a courtesy visit by a delegation from the Raw Materials Research and Development Council (RMRDC) to the Kaduna State Government, led by the Director of Administration and Human Resource Management, Mr. L G Suraj representing the Director-General/CEO of RMRDC, Professor Nnanyelugo Martin Ike-Muonso.
The visit, which was hosted by the Honourable Commissioner for Environment and Natural Resources, Hon. Abubakar Buba, who represented His Excellency Senator Uba Sani, the Executive Governor of Kaduna State, provided a platform to discuss deepening the partnership between RMRDC and Kaduna State.
In response to the Council’s invitation, the Honourable Commissioner expressed the state’s appreciation and assured the RMRDC of full participation at the Africa Raw Materials Summit. “I will relay this invitation directly to His Excellency, and I am confident that Kaduna will not only participate but will also showcase our comparative advantage in raw materials and agricultural potentials,” the Commissioner stated.
The Africa Raw Materials Summit aims to bring together key stakeholders from across the continent to explore opportunities for industrialization through value-added resource development, innovation, and cross-border collaboration. Kaduna State’s participation will provide an opportunity to highlight its vast potential in solid minerals, agricultural commodities, and ongoing value chain initiatives supported by both government and private sector actors.
The RMRDC commended the Kaduna State Government for its forward-thinking approach and commitment to leveraging its abundant resources for industrial growth. The Council looks forward to a strong Kaduna presence at the summit, where the state’s rich investment landscape will be showcased to local and international audiences.
