To explore potential opportunities in the minerials sector, the Australian government is offering a short training to assist Nigerian professionals and boost the Nation’s solid minerals sector.
Australian High Commissioner to Nigeria, Leilani Bin-Juda made this known when she visited the Minister of Solid Minerals Development, Dr. Oladele Alake in Abuja.
She stressed that the collaboration is aimed at enhancing the skills and knowledge of Nigerian experts to develop the nation’s solid minerals sector.
“I extend a formal invitation to Dr. Alake to attend the prestigious African Down Under (ADU) conference, scheduled to take place in Perth, Australia, from the 4th to the 6th of September 2024”, she added.
The High Commissioner also briefed the Minister on the upcoming conference and the immense opportunities the bilateral meetings will bring to Nigeria.
“Australia is renowned for its abundant mineral resources and advanced mining technologies, ranking among the top producers of key minerals such as iron ore, coal, gold, and bauxite. Australia is a critical player in the global mining industry” Bin-Juda emphasized.
“A key point of discussion was the introduction of a new free platform developed by Geoscience Australia, designed specifically for Africa. The innovative platform leverages satellite data to track and monitor mining activities across the continent, offering free, high-quality training and real-time data access“.
The High Commissioner explained that the potential of this platform will revolutionize the way Nigeria manages and oversees its mining operations.
Bin-Juda, who was accompanied by the Second Secretary of the Australian High Commission, Anto Bouckley, reiterated her commitment to fostering stronger ties between both nations and promised to visit the Minister again after the conference, signalling ongoing collaboration and partnership.
Responding, the Minister of Solid Minerals Development Dr. Oladele Alake expressed gratitude for the invitation and reaffirmed Nigeria’s readiness to deepen its relationship with Australia, particularly in the solid minerals sector.
