Nigeria on Mining

The ownership and control of all mineral resources in, under or upon any land or waters within the territory of Nigeria are vested exclusively in the Government of the Federation for and on behalf of the Nigerian people by the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999.

Having a thorough understanding of the regulatory landscape in Nigeria is crucial for business success, yet it's often one of the most challenging parts of setting up a business.

Mining is a significant sector in Nigeria's economy, contributing to GDP growth, job creation, and industrialization. However, you have to obtain a mining license in Nigeria to be able to carry out operations unhindered.
