The Nigeria Mineral Resource Decision Support System is a comprehensive software platform designed as a one-stop shop for investors seeking credible and decisive information about Nigeria’s mineral resources, facilities, and infrastructure. This initiative serves as a strategic marketing strategy to streamline processes and facilitate investment in the solid minerals sector.
During the unveiling of the NMRDSS in Abuja, Dr. Dele Alake, the Minister of Solid Minerals Development, emphasized the government’s commitment to providing prospective investors with essential information about Nigeria’s mineral resources, mining sector policies, and investment incentives from anywhere in the world. He highlighted the portal’s role in enabling investors to access crucial information with a simple click, eliminating the need for physical travel to Nigeria for inquiries.
Dr. Alake stressed that the NMRDSS would serve as a valuable tool for critical stakeholders in the mining sector and potential investors, offering them access to necessary information that would facilitate informed decision-making. This initiative aligns with the government’s efforts to promote transparency, attract foreign investments, and foster growth in the mining industry.
Minister of Interior, Tunji Olubunmi-Ojo, commended the transformative leadership demonstrated by his counterpart in the solid minerals sector, noting that the launch of the NMRDSS would significantly boost foreign investments. He emphasized the importance of the mining industry in driving economic prosperity and expressed confidence in Nigeria’s potential to replicate success stories like Saudi Arabia’s non-oil industry contribution to GDP.
The NMRDSS portal represents a significant milestone in Nigeria’s journey towards harnessing its solid minerals potential. Dr. Mary Ogbe, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministries of Solid Minerals Development and Steel Development, urged stakeholders to actively promote Nigeria’s mineral resources and showcase the nation’s merits to the global community.
The launch of the NMRDSS underscores Nigeria’s commitment to promoting transparency, attracting investments, and unlocking the immense potential of its mining sector. Access to the NMRDSS portal is available via: https://miningdecision.minesandsteel.gov.ng/nmrdss/.
