 ALAKE PRESENTS GOLD BARS TO PRESIDENT TINUBU, SAYS SECTOR WILL BOOST NAIRA VALUE


Solid Minerals Development Minister, Dr. Dele Alake has commended President Bola Tinubu for supporting reforms in the solid minerals sector, assuring that the National Gold Purchase programme will increase the country’s reserve and boost the naira’s value.

Explaining to President Tinubu the significance of the event, Alake said it marked the first commercial transaction under the National Gold Purchase Program (NGPP), the centralised offtake scheme supported by a decentralised aggregation and production network of artisanal and small-scale miners and cooperatives.
