The Governor of Edo State His Excellency Godwin Obaseki said his administration has intensified efforts to diversify the state’s economy by tapping into the state solid minerals deposits, particularly lithium, as a new source of Foreign Exchange (FX) earnings.
He welcomed representatives from international investors such as Renera Rosatom Energy Corporation and Uranium One, along with others who have expressed their willingness to partner with the state.
The Governor said the investors can be rest assured that his administration will provide them with the necessary resources to ensure they receive value for their investment and that the mining sector contributes significantly to boosting the state’s internally generated revenue.
