President Bola Tinubu has called for a fresh continental push to end the historical exploitation of Africa's critical mineral resources, urging African nations to unite and halt the export of raw materials. He demanded an aggressive alliance among African countries to ensure the continent transitions from a mere supplier of raw minerals to a hub for local processing, manufacturing, and value addition. The President made the call on Monday in New York during the Africa Minerals Strategy Group High-level Roundtable on Critical Minerals Development in Africa, held on the sidelines of the 81st Session of the United Nations General Assembly. The roundtable was convened and chaired by President Tinubu, who was represented by Vice President Kashim Shettima, alongside AMSG Chairman and Nigeria's Minister of Solid Minerals.
