The Zamfara Government says the Lithium mining processing plant will create over 2000 direct and indirect employment opportunities and develop mining sector and general economic development of the state and Nigeria.
The state Commissioner for Environment and Natural Resources, Abdurrahman Tumbido said this in Gusau on Wednesday at the capacity building programme on the development of Lithium Value Chain for Export Competitiveness.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the capacity building programme is organised by the Nigerian Export Promotion Council (NEPC).
Declaring the programme open, Tumbido commended the NEPC for organising the programme adding that it came at the right time.
“This is a timely effort from NEPC especially when Zamfara, recently unveiled a 200 million dollars lithium mining and processing plant in Boko Village, Zurmi Local Government Area”, he said.
