ABUJA, Nigeria - Sept. 8, 2025 - PRLog -- The upcoming Nigeria Mining Week conference and expo will celebrate the country's mining legacy as well as its burgeoning potential when it returns to Abuja from 13 to 15 October. The event organisers have announced the theme of this year's edition, which is the 10th anniversary of the event. The theme is: "Nigeria Mining: From Progress to Global Relevance."

"This theme captures both our achievements and our aspirations," says Engr. Faruk Yusuf Yabo, the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Solid Minerals Development. "Over the past ten years, Nigeria Mining Week has grown from a modest industry gathering into a flagship platform that convenes government, investors, operators and development partners. As we enter the next decade, our focus is clear: to scale up the industry, ensure sustainability, drive value addition, and firmly position Nigeria as a globally relevant mining hub."

Nigeria ready for responsible mining
The event is hosted by Ministry of Solid Mineral Development of Nigeria and organised by Miners Association of Nigeria, in partnership with PwC Nigeria and VUKA Group.

"The Ministry of Solid Minerals Development is proud to serve as the host ministry of this event," says the Permanent Secretary. "This is not just symbolic—it reflects the government's commitment to making mining a central pillar of Nigeria's economic diversification agenda and identified the mining sector as one of the sectors to drive the diversification of our economy away from oil."

MAN: Strength in collaboration
"At MAN, we firmly believe that the strength of our sector lies in collaboration," says Dele Ayanleke, President of the Miners Association of Nigeria (MAN). "Our partnership with the ministry, investors, sponsors, and industry stakeholders has been instrumental in shaping policies, improving operational standards, and building trust in the sector."

PWC Nigeria: Excited about opportunities
"Over the past decade, Nigeria Mining Week has served as the foremost platform for shaping the conversation on Nigeria's mining sector—driving dialogue, building consensus, and crafting solutions that position mining as a true engine of shared prosperity for all Nigerians," says Habeeb Jaiyeola, Partner and Head, Mining Sector, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) Nigeria.

"Improve, excel and exceed expectations"
"Along with our event partners, it has been an honour but also a responsibility to host Nigeria Mining Week for the last decade," says VUKA Group Event Director for Mining Samukelo Madlabane.

He adds: "However, it is a responsibility we take very seriously. Since the inaugural event, we have never stopped trying to improve, excel and exceed expectations by continuing to bring innovative, forward-thinking, and interactive programmes to maximise sharing, dealmaking, and networking between our attendees."
