Director of the Minerals and Miners Centre (MMC), Dr Comfort Asokoro-Ogaji, on Friday, said that no country would develop solely by exporting its raw commodities.
She also emphasized the importance of exporting value-added products rather than raw commodities in order to create wealth.
Asokoro-Ogaji, disclosed this while engaging consultants and experts in mineral processing and machinery manufacturing in London, to advance negotiations for Nigerian artisanal mining companies and state governments.
She explained that MMC aims to contribute to the ongoing efforts of allowing junior mining companies and artisanal miners to directly engage in mineral processing operations and receive training through mentorship and internship programs.
