What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Sheikh Ahmad Gumi called on the Federal Government to impose a total ban on the export of unprocessed raw materials. He argued that Nigeria's mineral resources must be processed locally to create maximum value and generate jobs. Gumi suggested that any company seeking access to Nigerian resources should be required to establish refining and processing industries within the country.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

Gumi's submission aligns with the Federal Government’s existing push for value-addition. This supports the Raw Materials Research and Development Council's promotion of a 30% Value-Addition Bill, which requires local processing before minerals can be exported. The policy aims to shift Nigeria toward retaining greater economic value domestically.
