 MINISTER OF SOLID MINERALS ALAKE CALLS FOR UNITED AFRICA FOR MINERAL ECONOMY


The Minister of Solid Minerals Development and Chairman of the Africa Minerals Strategy Group, Dele Alake has called for a stronger regional cooperation among African nations to position the continent as a formidable force in global mineral supply chains.


Speaking at the Kenya Mining Investment Conference and Exhibition 2026, Alake said Africa stands at the centre of a new industrial era driven by critical minerals, clean energy technologies, digital transformation and advanced manufacturing.


A statement by the Special Assistant to the minister on media, Lara Owoeye-Wise, Alake

noted that while Africa possesses vast deposits of lithium and other rare earth minerals, the continent continues to capture only a fraction of the true economic value generated from its resources.


Alake therefore called for the rapid expansion of the Africa Minerals Strategy Group, which was established in January 2023 by sixteen founding member states and has now grown to thirty-one African countries to play a key role in the sector through value addition.
